Ratt To Roll Again

08/09/2011
. (Gibson) Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy confirms that the hard rock band will return in 2012 after a period of inactivity that bafflingly followed their critically acclaimed 2010 album Infestation.

Pearcy wrote on his Facebook page that his solo album, Sucker Punch, is due for completion in September, with a release date to be announced. "Then it's all RATT music," Pearcy wrote. "The band is starting to discuss who, what, where and when. All positive either way for you Ratt n' Rollers!"

Infestation reached #30 on the Billboard charts, but the band played a limited number of shows before tensions within the band forced an indefinite hiatus. Drummer Bobby Blotzer's 2010 book, Tales of a RATT: Things You Shouldn't Know, inspired the drummer to create a new book franchise called WANTED � Things YOU Need to Know.

"I got the idea for the series in thinking, wouldn't it be nice to approach the author of any given book that always has one or two unanswered questions?" Blotzer says. "I want to gather not only the questions, but also have the person posing the question be in the book itself. Including your name, where you're from, and a picture of you next to your questions. How fun right?" more on this story
