STRAY CATS have titled the album 40. Marking their first new album in 26 years, it will be released May 24 via Mascot label Group / Mascot Records in Europe and the UK and via Surfdog Records in the rest of the world (CD, vinyl, digital). The song titles alone–including “Cat Fight (Over A Dog Like Me),” “Rock It Off,” “Mean Pickin’ Mama,” and “Devil Train”—instantly let listeners know they’re in for a non-stop rocking time.

Listen to Cry Danger here:

Brian Setzer on Cry Danger:
“This one is really different for us, Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers came up with this crazy riff. It’s almost like a backwards ‘Day Tripper.’”

Stray Cats plays the Pori Jazz Festival on 18th July!

Slim Jim Phantom on Rock It Off:

“ROCK IT OFF” MAY BE MY FAVORITE TRACK ON #40 – WHEN THE GUITAR RIFF COMES IN, I STAND UP A LITTLE STRAIGHTER & IMAGINE A PEACOCK STRUTTING – IT’S GOT A SHUFFLE GROOVE THAT’S TAILOR MADE FOR ME TO DO THE BOP-BOP-A-BOP – THE VIDEO CAPTURES THE FUN & GOOD VIBES WE ALL SHARED WHILE MAKING THE WHOLE ALBUM.”
