HANOI ROCKS Guitarist: Next CD Will Be 'As Loud, Raw And Live As Possible'

December 12, 2005

Despite the fact that their latest studio album, "Another Hostile Takeover", has just been released via the U.K.'s Demolition Records, Finnish rock 'n' roll legends HANOI ROCKS have already commenced the songwriting process for their next CD. The band's guitarist, Andy McCoy, has written eight new tracks for the upcoming album and fellow axeman Conny Bloom (ex-ELECTRIC BOYS) has worked on a couple of tunes as well. According to McCoy, the as-yet-untitled effort will be as "loud, raw and live" as possible.

HANOI ROCKS are currently touring Scandinavia in support of the "Another Hostile Takeover" album, which was issued in Finland last spring. The CD is the group's first album to feature Bloom, who joined the band last year. HANOI ROCKS' current lineup also includes a second ex-ELECTRIC BOYS member, bassist Andy "A.C." Christell. Plans exist for the group to embark on a North American tour sometime in early 2006.

HANOI ROCKS' next live appearance will take place on Tuesday (Dec. 13) in Stockholm, Sweden.
