SHINOLA lyrics:

When they brought you home from the hospital
Well, it made your father sick
So you grew up hard and you broke some bones
And you learned your lessons quick

Now you’re an angry little fucker with an axe to grind
The devil on my shoulder
You’re a small time bet on a highball roller
But you don’t know shit from Shinola

Well, the teenage years came wild and fast
And you did your share of harm
And you squirmed your way on up despite
Your distinctive lack of charm

But you’re an angry little fucker with an axe to grind
The devil on my shoulder
You got a brain that’s buzzin’ like Coca-Cola
‘Cause you don’t know shit from Shinola

Now the sunset’s getting longer
And your friends are all long gone
It’s a lonely ride from the middle down
It’s the end of your long con

‘Cause you’re an angry little fucker with an axe to grind
The devil on my shoulder
You got a head that’s spinning like a Victrola
But you don’t know shit
I said you don’t know shit
You know that you don’t know no shit
From Shinola
Shinola
Shit from Shinola

The new album Outerstellar, is an experience as much as a collection of great songs, a sweet smelling, leathery, glitter-shimmered, sweat-soaked raunch and punch wrapped in one of the great voices in rock ‘n’ roll. The harmonies and vibes roll effortlessly in silk scarves, lounging in leather pants with liquor and a smile on a beat-up sofa in those small AM hours. And the sheer attitude, which screams carefree (not careless!) confidence (not arrogance!), a cocksure sense of self-bathed in the sheer joy of playing real rock ‘n’ roll the right way.

From loud crashing guitars to harmonicas, to gorgeous acoustic moments, you’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll shiver, you’ll shake, and you’ll smell this wonderful exhilarating record in all its weathered biker jacket incense-coated glory and you’ll also realize that whatever the hell is going on in the world right now, when you put this album on, it’s an instant escape to carefree days and an emancipation from worries, fears and woes.

Outerstellar will see a whole burst of life onstage when Michael Monroe and the band bring it to stages internationally over the next year. It is EXACTLY what rock ‘n’ roll in its truest sense is meant to be, in fact, just stop reading this, get off your ‘Rockin’ Horse’ and go see Michael Monroe on tour at your first opportunity!

Outerstellar will be available on Limited Edition 12” White Viny, 12” Turquoise Vinyl, 12” Black Vinyl, CD Digipak, Digital Download, Streaming and special D2C bundles. Available to pre-order now: https://lnk.to/MichaelMonroeOuterstellar
