Monroe\u2019s lens has always been directed towards the upside, even after the greatest downs a man can suffer, and the sheer power of his positive energy infuses everything he comes into contact with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eleven lean, mean, raw power rock \u2018n\u2019 roll songs which make up I Live Too Fast To Die Young see Monroe swagger the streets like a rock-punk poet, a storyteller who\u2019s seen it all from the hellholes of Helsinki to the late-nights in London\u2019s St. Moritz with some trashy times in Tokyo to boot. Warm, funny, occasionally sad but ultimately upbeat, I Live Too Fast To Die Young brings the listener into the heart and soul of its creator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title track, \u2018I Live Too Fast To Die Young\u2019, is quintessential Monroe, playing with words and concepts in a playfully irreverent way and wrapping it all up in some proper \u2018fuck you\u2019 rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. A close friend of Monroe\u2019s, Slash from Guns N\u2019 Roses, throws down some lead guitar on the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recorded at Inkfish Studios in Helsinki, Finland between November and December 2021 and produced by the band with engineer Erno Laitinen, the album features Monroe on lead vocals and harmonica, Steve Conte (guitars and vocals), Rich Jones (guitar, vocals), Karl Rockfist (drums) and Sami Yaffa (bass\/vocals\/guitar). With I Live Too Fast To Die Young, it is clear Michael Monroe is striding into the summer with a triumphant -and perhaps most importantly, defiant- roar to offer you a chance to let your hair down (or up!) and to once again enjoy the freedom of joyous celebration and expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band is due to appear at a string of summer festival shows and will be touring in support of the album on the following dates: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>04 Jun \u2013 ROCK HARD FESTIVAL, Gelsenkirchen (DE) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>06 Jun \u2013 K.B.
