Stephen Pearcy Says He Has Demoed “About 15 Songs” For Ratt’s Next Album

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF, Stephen Pearcy offered an update on new Ratt music. The singer said the following:

“I’ve demoed about 15 songs, and it’s gonna be hard to pick. I’ll throw the band probably five songs. And Juan [Croucier, bass] is writing. Jordan [Ziff, guitar] is [working on ideas] already. We’re not gonna be lacking songs. I think what I wanted to do first was release a couple of songs and see what happens. But we’ve got so much music, it might be easier just to do a record and release the songs whenever we want. And then, at the end of the day, release three songs here, three there, three there, then release the [full] record.”
