Footage of the reunited Alice Cooper Band working together on their first album in more than half a century has emerged in the video for the band's new single, Wild Ones.
The footage, which was shot at Carriage House Studios in Stamford, CT, finds Cooper and guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway and drummer Neil Smith running through the new single, which includes the lyrics "Revving up our engines, sharpening our claws / 'Cause baby when you're hungry, the jungle is the law", and a motif at the one-minute mark that's surely a hat-tip to Cooper's 1971 classic Under My Wheels.
"Inspired by the iconic 1953 film The Wild One starring Marlon Brando, the track captures the same defiant spirit that once shocked middle America and defined a generation," reads a statement accompanying the song's release, "With snarling guitars, pounding drums, and Alice’s unmistakable snarl front and centre, Wild Ones isn’t just a song, it’s a statement."
The song is the second to emerge from new album The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, following the release of Black Mamba in April. The album is produced by Bob Ezrin, who worked on the band's classic early 70s albums Love It to Death, Killer, School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies, and is the band's first since 1973's Muscle of Love. It'll arrive via earMusic on July 25.
"This album is a celebration of friendship, nostalgia, and the timeless sound that solidified Alice Cooper as a rock icon," say the band in a statement. "Fans can expect a powerful and nostalgic experience that bridges the gap between the band's storied past and their vibrant present."
