Billy Idol has announced the forthcoming release of his new EP. The Cage will be released on 23 September, one year after last year’s EP, The Roadside. Regarding The Cage, Billy stated in a press release:
“The last EP, we were kind of warming up to this. This EP is a lot more coming at you. Loads more guitar. And that’s a lot of fun. We were pretty fired up by the fact that we hadn’t played for a couple of years, and suddenly we were bursting on stage, and it kind of woke us up to what the next EP could be………a little more strum und drang, a little more coming at you, a little more rock ‘n’ roll, a little more f**k you! Well, a tiny bit of f**k you, anyhow. The bottom line is we had a lot of fun doing it.”
We think you’ll have fun listening to it as, 40 years on from Hot in The City, Billy sounds as good as ever. The EP’s first single and title track, The Cage, is new this week on RadiJohan.
