MÖTLEY CRÜE is set to release the Cancelled EP on October 4. This three-song collection includes the title track, a cover of the BEASTIE BOYS classic “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)”, and “Dogs Of War,” which was first released in April. All three tracks were recorded in April 2023 with longtime producer Bob Rock.
CRÜE said in a statement: “It was really great getting in the studio and working on some tracks together. What started out as a couple demo ideas turned into this EP produced by Bob Rock. We look forward to getting back into the studio again soon and writing more new music, as well.”
Cancelled EP track listing:
01. Cancelled
02. Dogs Of War
03. Fight For Your Right
MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee shared on Bill Maher‘s “Club Random” podcast last year that he and his bandmates were inspired to write a song titled “Cancelled” because they were surprised they had never been cancelled themselves.
He said: “There was this article that was like, ‘How did MÖTLEY CRÜE ever not get cancelled?’ And we were like, ‘F**k, we’ve gotta write a song about that because we didn’t ever get it.’ We snuck in under the whatever threshold, wherever that was, where we got away with f**king murder.”
The Cancelled EP will be released through MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s new partnership with Nashville’s Big Machine Records.
