Produced by Chips Kiesbye (Hellacopters, Nomads) in Gothenburg, Sweden and mixed by Petri Majuri in Helsinki, Finland, the project is the follow-up to the 2013 Finnish chart-topper "Horns And Halos."
Monroe recorded the album with his touring band - bassist Sami Yaffa (ex-Hanoi Rocks/New York Dolls), guitarist Steve Conte (ex-New York Dolls/Company Of Wolves), guitarist Rich Jones (ex-Black Halos/Amen) and drummer Karl Rockfist (ex-Chelsea Smiles/Danzig).
"I'm extremely excited about our new album, 'Blackout States'," says Monroe. "It has all the ingredients of a perfect rock'n'roll record - strong melodic songs with great meaningful lyrics that defy all clich�s, delivered with a punky, ballsy attitude by a killer band." Read more here.
