Mötley Crüe returns with the Cancelled EP. Out everywhere on 10/4, the EP marks the band’s first new music since 2019 and their debut release with Big Machine Rock. Featuring recent Top 5 Rock Radio hit, “Dogs of War,” alongside their new single, a cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Fight For Your Right,” and the record’s title track, “Cancelled,” the Crüe is back to remind fans why they remain a force to be reckoned with 40+ years into their career.
“It was really great getting in the studio and working on some tracks together,” Mötley Crüe offered in a joint statement. “What started out as a couple demo ideas turned into this EP produced by Bob Rock. We look forward to getting back into the studio again soon and writing more new music, as well.”
Mötley Crüe’s version of “Fight for Your Right” has quickly become a fan favorite since the band first debuted the song live during their secret 2023 club show at The Underworld in London, UK. At its premiere, 450 lucky, sweat-drenched fans who had come out to see a band advertised as “Dogs of War” got the surprise of a lifetime when Mötley Crüe took the stage with the Beastie Boys classic in their set list.
The veil of speculation surrounding the “Dogs of War” pseudonym was finally lifted when the band released their first new single since 2019 by the same name in the spring of 2024. “Dogs of War” subsequently became a Top 5 Rock Radio hit, accompanied by a highly acclaimed official video director by Nick DenBoer. The cutting-edge visual, which is entirely CGI-based, features the members of Mötley Crüe navigating an exhilarating post-apocalyptic world. Check out the video for “Dogs of War” HERE.
