MÖTLEY CRÜE RETURNS WITH THEIR FIRST SOLO RELEASE SINCE 2015
“The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” Ushers in a Brand-New Era with Recent Signing to Big Machine Records
Riotous New Single, “Dogs of War,” Out Now Alongside Accompanying Music Video
Assembling within a new generation, Mötley Crüe returns with “Dogs of War,” out now on all platforms via Big Machine Records. Their first solo track since 2015 narrates a rally of resistance against every bastard of life. Unable to sit back and put their legacy on a leash, the Crüe are here to remind listeners why they remain “The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band.” Pushing new lengths in sound and image, just as they have for the past 40 years, there is no fault in confidence that the Crüe have something to say-and we better be all ears.
“It’s always great getting back in the studio with the guys in the band,” Nikki Sixx admits. “We know you’re gonna like this one.”
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Mötley Crüe – Vince Neil (vocals), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums), and Mick Mars (guitar) – has commandeered the rock pantheon for 40+ years. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, garnered 7 USA Platinum and multi-Platinum albums, 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, 6 Top 20 pop singles, 3 GRAMMY® nominations, 5 New York Times bestselling books, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a Netflix hit movie. Mötley Crüe continues touring the world with John 5 on guitar, as they push the visual limits of live performance. The quartet has amassed over 5 billion streams across digital platforms and the band has over 8 million followers on social media.
Known for their iconic live performances, they have sold out countless tours across the globe in front of millions of fans, with groundbreaking production highlights, such as Tommy Lee’s drum-rollercoaster and Nikki Sixx’s flame-throwing-bass. They pioneered the Las Vegas rock residency with a sold-out run in 2012. Mötley Crüe’s hit songs, such as “Kickstart My Heart” and “Home Sweet Home,” are frequently licensed by major brands, such as NASCAR, Dodge, Coldwell Banker, Carl’s Jr., and KIA, to name a few, and their music can be heard on hit TV shows, such as Stranger Things and Cobra Kai, among many others.
The band’s biography, The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band, became a New York Times bestseller in 2001 and has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. Members of the band have authored four additional New York Times bestselling books since. In 2019, Netflix premiered The Dirt, a biopic based on the bestselling book, which became a global hit movie, scoring a 94% positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. As a result, Mötley Crüe gained an entire new generation of young fans who discovered the band through the movie and further solidified their iconic status and relevance and the timelessness of their songwriting. Mötley Crüe remains a huge global draw 40+ years into their career, and in the summer of 2022, they co-headlined a nearly sold-out North American stadium tour with Def Leppard.
Continuing to tour throughout 2024, the iconic band is ushering in a brand-new era with their recent signing to Big Machine Records and subsequent single, “Dogs of War.”
