Billy Idol has announced a new EP.
'The Cage' will be released on September 23 via Dark Horse Records, following up 2021's 'The Roadside' EP and festive LP 'Happy Holidays'. It features Idol's longtime collaborator, co-writer and guitarist Steve Stevens. Idol said:
“The last EP, we were kind of warming up to this. This EP is a lot more coming at you. Loads more guitar. And that’s a lot of fun. We were pretty fired up by the fact that we hadn’t played for a couple of years, and suddenly we were bursting on stage, and it kind of woke us up to what the next EP could be: That it could be a little more strum und drang, a little more coming at you, a little more rock’n’roll, a little more f*ck you! Well, a tiny bit of f*ck you, anyhow. The bottom line is we had a lot of fun doing it.”
As a preview, the legendary rocker has shared the record's title track, a high-octane, stadium-sized offering with singalong chorus. Check out its Steven Sebring-directed video below.
Idol will take the rescheduled Roadside Tour across the UK this autumn. He'll be joined by special guests Television and Toyah.
