New Song and Album Announcement
The reunited Alice Cooper Band has released a new single called Up All Night. The song is being described as a “full-throttle celebration of youthful mischief.” It’s the third track shared from their upcoming album The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, following Black Mamba in April and Wild Ones in June.
The new album will be released on July 25 through earMusic. It’s produced by Bob Ezrin, who also worked with the band during their early 1970s run. He produced classic albums like Love It to Death, Killer, School’s Out, and Billion Dollar Babies. This will be the first album from the original lineup since 1973’s Muscle of Love.

Band Talks About Their Return
In the current issue of Classic Rock magazine, Alice Cooper and original bandmates Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, and Michael Bruce talk about the album and their long friendship. When asked if they might record another album after this, Cooper said:
“We did a gang sort of interview, and they asked: ‘Is this a one-off project?’ I went: ‘Who says it’s one-off? This album’s really good, why wouldn’t we do another one?’ I think I might have even shocked Neal, Dennis and Mike when I said that. I mean, the band is the band. They’ll always be my band. And I’ll always be their singer.”
He also shared how much the band has meant to him over the years.
“The moment when we disbanded, I felt really alone. These are three of the best friends I’ve ever had in my life. I’d never been without these guys. And it took a long time to really get comfortable playing with other musicians.”
Band Still Feels Like Family
Even though they were apart for a long time, Cooper says he never felt like it was truly over.
“To me, I always felt like that band was still together. We just haven’t worked in a long time.”
Fans will get a chance to hear more from the band and producer Bob Ezrin at a special launch event on July 24. It will be held at the Rough Trade shop in East London and hosted by songwriter Sir Tim Rice. The event is already sold out but will be streamed live on Cooper’s official YouTube page.
