Detroit Stories

A high-octane love letter to the Motor City. Gritty garage rock riffs meet polished soul-revue brass and the signature snarl of a rock legend.

Alice goes back to his roots with a loud, brassy, and surprisingly soulful love letter to the city that made him.

A celebratory and rowdy tribute to rock's blue-collar roots with a mischievous, elder-statesman grin.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The surprising soul-revue brass and backing vocals that transform $1000 High Heel Shoes into a funk-rock hybrid.

The heavy, sludge-adjacent opening riff of Social Debris that recaptures the original Alice Cooper Group's menace.

The bittersweet contrast of the upbeat, nursery-rhyme melody against the cynical lyrics in Our Love Will Change the World.
