10-06-2026
RATT singer Stephen Pearcy‘s sixth solo album, “The Dogg Mob”, is tentatively due this fall via Pearcy‘s Top Fuel Records label.
Pearcy‘s most recent solo LP, “View To A Thrill”, came out in 2018 via Frontiers Music Srl. The follow-up to 2017’s “Smash” was produced by Stephen‘s bassist Matt Thorne and Pearcy and was mixed and mastered by Stephen‘s longtime guitarist Erik Ferentinos.
On Sunday, June 7, Pearcy shared a few photos from the studio and he included the following message: “Top Fuel Newz; Stephen Pearcy‘s ‘The Dogg Mob’, studio studio studio!
“It’s been a long week this weekend finishing up solos and lead vocals on a few more songs. A good 12-13 on the record sounds about right, and a couple more special guests to hit up if time. Now we’re headed to that finish line, thank you yes! So now it’s looking like a fall release 2026 for the new album. All good, just more time to set up it properly, very important. I’m sure a new single and video will be released soon enough.
“We’re excited about this album, it’s going to surprise and shake things up. It’s what you might expect #rattnroll but more.
“Stephen Pearcy‘s sixth solo album ‘The Dogg Mob’, will now see a fall release kidz. We were hoping to break off the leash late summer 2026, Next! officialstephenpearcy.com @ratt @mattthorne_mtstudios @erikferentinos #thedoggmob #topfuelentertainment #80s OnTour2026 topfuelrecords 2026″.
This past April Pearcy released “I Need U”, the first single from “The Dogg Mob”. The track features Pearcy on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ferentinos on guitar, Thorne on bass, Blas Elias on drums and an undisclosed “special guest” on guitar.
“This song’s on me — download it before they charge ya,” Pearcy wrote on his official web site.
“We’ve been writing some killer material the last few years — Erik Ferentinos and I — with Matt Thorne at MT Studios shaping the sound. We’re fired up about this record.”
For the past year, Pearcy has been playing sporadic shows with guitarist extraordinaire Warren DeMartini — his longtime bandmate in RATT — under the PEARCY/DEMARTINI moniker.
Speaking about the songwriting process for his solo material, Pearcy told Music Existence: “RATT‘s music is its own entity and animal, and it has its own schematics. With my solo stuff, I tend to do whatever I like — an acoustic song, a really heavy song — and go places and talk about things that I want to. It’s my freedom of speech. That’s one thing I like about it, and I’m always writing, so what else can I do, you know? Just try to get it out and get it heard! I don’t care if it sells ten million or nil million; it’s just what I do. You do the best that you can.”
RATT hasn’t released any new music since 2010’s “Infestation” LP.
