The original Alice Cooper Group recently released a new single, “Wild Ones,” a blistering, riff-driven homage to youthful rebellion and the raw energy that made them icons.

Inspired by the 1953 cult classic The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando, the track channels the same defiant spirit that once rattled middle America and helped define a generation.

With snarling guitars, thunderous drums, and Alice Cooper’s signature snarl leading the charge, “Wild Ones” is more than a song — it’s a declaration.

“Wild Ones” is the second single from the band’s upcoming album, The Revenge Of Alice Cooper. The first was “Black Mamba,” released on April 23rd.

The Revenge of Alice Cooper is the eighth studio album by the original Alice Cooper band.

Featuring a reunion of the core members – Alice Cooper, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith, the album is scheduled to be released on July 25th by earMusic in a wide variety of formats and limited vinyl colors.

Besides the 14 tracks, two bonus tracks – “Return Of The Spiders 2025” and “Titanic Overunderture” – are only available in the Box Set on 7-inch Vinyl and as download in smart format.

Duran Duran are officially back in the studio working on new music with one of their most legendary collaborators, Nile Rodgers.

The iconic U.K. band teased new material via Instagram, sharing a snapshot from Abbey Road Studios with the caption, “Working with our good friend Nile at Abbey Road Studios this weekend. Stay tuned…”

Rodgers also shared the moment on his social media, writing, “We had as much fun working yesterday as ever!”
