If you like old school heavy metal you’re in for a real treat with this one. It’ll have you dreaming about hanging out on Sunset Strip in the hair metal heydays even if you’ve never actually been to Los Angeles. It’s cool like that. A slick, anthemic beast that proves that Erik Turner (guitar), Jerry Dixon (bass), Steven Sweet (drums) and Joey Allen (lead guitar) still have their chops. Together with vocalist Robert Mason, who’s been with the band nearing 10 years now, they’re still a force to be reckoned with. If you like classic Warrant songs like “All My Bridges Are Burning” and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” I think you’ll really dig this one. Listen to it a couple of times. Let it grow on you. Imagine the Strip.

Warrant is sounding tighter and playing better than ever before. “Louder Harder Faster”, true to the band’s roots, is full of rockers with some classic ballads thrown in and sure to send their faithful fans into a frenzy.
Warrant was one of the most popular and successful rock bands to emerge out of Hollywood, CA in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The band was formed in the early 80’s by Erik Turner and Jerry Dixon. In 1989, Warrant released their classic debut “Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich”, which immediately entered the charts and launched the hit singles “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries”, and “Heaven”, which climbed up to number two on the US charts. With extensive touring for DRFSR, sales exceeded 2 million records in the US only.
In the summer of 1990, their second album “Cherry Pie”was released. The album turned out to be an even bigger success, featuring the Top Ten hits “I Saw Red”, Uncle Toms Cabin and the rock anthem “Cherry Pie”, which received massive airplay on MTV and continues to get millions of plays on streaming services and YouTube to this very day.
Warrant’s signature style of rock is catchy, very melodic, and remains the band’s calling card. The band is fired up and more inspired than ever musically! The band will be out touring in support of “Louder Harder Faster”, so be sure to catch them when they hit your town!
