MÖTLEY CRÜE signs with BIG MACHINE RECORDS, announces new single 'Dogs Of War'

24-04-2024

MÖTLEY CRÜE will release a new song called “Dogs Of War” on Friday, April 26. The track is available for preorder now. “Dogs Of War” will be released via MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s new deal with Nashville’s Big Machine Records.

“It’s a great match for us,” singer Vince Neil tells Classic Rock. “We’re good friends with (Big Machine founder/CEO] Scott Borchetta, who put together the ‘Nashville Outlaws’ album back in 2014. His company just knows radio, how to get it out there, how to get the right people listening.”

MÖTLEY CRÜE on Big Machine!” exclaims Borchetta. “Growing up in Southern California, I was in Hollywood when these new sheriffs showed up and took over the city. It was loud. It was powerful. It was game-changing. Nikki (Sixx, bass) and Tommy (Lee, drums), along with new guitarist John 5, have reignited the flame with ferocious new CRÜE music. Fans will unite… SHOUT!”

MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s last studio album was 2008’s “Saints Of Los Angeles”, which was followed by a 2009 “Greatest Hits” compilation.

In 2018, MÖTLEY CRÜE recorded four new songs for “The Dirt” movie, including the single “The Dirt (Est. 1981) (Feat. Machine Gun Kelly)”“Ride With The Devil”“Crash And Burn” and the band’s own spin on Madonna‘s “Like A Virgin”.

‘The Dirt’ movie got us a whole new generation of fans,” Neil said. “We want to keep putting new music out. We don’t want to stagnate.”

“We self-released ‘Too Fast For Love’ on our own Leathür Records label,” Neil added of the band’s 1981 debut. “It cost $3,000 to make and was done in three days. It was a glorified demo tape, but we were the record label until we got signed by Elektra. We haven’t been on a record label for 20 years. But Scott shares our philosophy and he’s a brilliant guy.”
