STEPHEN PEARCY Continuing Work On New Solo Album, Upcoming Book

May 25, 2011

RATT frontman Stephen Pearcy is continuing work on his solo album, "Sucker Punch", tentatively due later in the year. He writes on his web site, "Working on lead vocals and guitar solos on a few songs. A special guest may appear on a song that will blow your minds!" The CD's first single, "Don't Want To Talk About", was released earlier this month digitally via iTunes.

In other news, Pearcy's management is currently "entertaining publishers" for the singer's first book. Stephen says, "[I am] working on a few rough chapters as we speak!"

Pearcy will hit the road in September as part of the "Metal In America" tour. The singer's touring band includes an impressive pedigree of rock alumni consisting of drummer Greg D'Angelo (ex-WHITE LION),guitarist Greg Walls (ex-ANTHRAX),bassist Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) and guitarist Erik Ferentinos (ANTIDIVISION; signed to Pearcy's Top Fuel Records). Stephen writes, "Rehearsals to start in a few days for the warm-up shows. We'll film some of the rehearsals and post so you can meet the band and check out a song or two!"

The "Metal In America" tour is expected to include material from RATT's deep catalog of classic rock anthems and Pearcy's impressive solo material.

Pearcy recently recorded a new version of RATT's '80s hit "Wanted Man" for "Big John's Rock N Lock", the new show featuring world-famous rock and roll bodyguard "Big" John Murray, celebrity reality star of VH1's "Rock Of Love".

Pearcy posted a message on Twitter in March stating that RATT will remain inactive for the remainder of 2011 while he pursues other projects, including the release of a new solo album. He said, "RATT with me involved will not be active [in] 2011, maybe longer. No new record, tour, or life with me until things are back on track! Until then, M.I.A."
