As previously reported, Warrant will release their new album, Louder Harder Faster, on May 12th. The band is currently streaming the song, Only Broken Heart, which can be heard below.
With a line-up featuring original members, Erik Turner, Jerry Dixon, Joey Allen, and Steven Sweet along with singer Robert Mason (Lynch Mob, Cry of Love), Warrant are now stronger than ever. Mason’s vocals remain a breath of fresh air and his swagger on the songs gives new life and a bright future to the band. With production handled by Foreigner and ex-Dokken bass player Jeff Pilson (Last In Line, Starship, Adler’s Appetite, etc.), 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 will surely send their faithful fans into a frenzy.
Erik Turner says, “You can hear and feel the emotions of the last 25 plus years of being in this band poured into LHF. The fun and the frustrations, the pleasure and the pain… a whole lot of blood, sweat, tears and beers went into the making of this album. Love it or hate it, its the real f’ckn deal, 100% pure melodic hard rock. Hand crafted by five musicians who dedicated their lives to music when they were just little kids with big dreams.”

Nothing wrong with “Lynch Mob” sounding like Lynch Mob, but I wan’t Warrant to sound like Warrant. I like both and I too would have rather them gotten St. James back (but hey, I wanted Marc Storace in AC/DC), but yeah, I wasn’t feeling that tune. Never heard a Warrant song that sounded like Lynch Mob, till now. I’m with Mr. Rock and Roll and Kieth G, sorry Dana.
No worries, and I agree with your assessment, my point was meant to be taken as tongue-in-cheek (hence the winky face emoji).
Additionally, I would like to add, while I know Warrant was a never band who really appealed to a male audience, I think Jani Lane was a talented songwriter. To this day, I think that Uncle Tom’s Cabin, is not only their best song, but just a great rock song, in general.
D 🙂
Not a Warrant fan, not even close, but Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a great rock tune period regardless of where it came from. I saw an interview with Jani one time where he stated that’s what he wanted their album to be called but the record company wanted something ‘poppier’ and then he wrote Cherry Pie which drove him nuts because that’s what their second album was none for. He wanted a heavier bluesier sound but helped create a beast that was bigger than him. I think that interview was from the Heavy Documentary. Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a song that is so unlike Warrant it was weird. Great great song.
You are SO right, Dana! UNCLE TOM’s CABIN is by far Warrant’s best tune.
My favorite and Warrant’s best song? “Ode to Tipper Gore,” of course! 😉
