Alice Cooper’s Hollywood Vampires Have Returned

In case you missed it, The Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry) are returning with their sophomore album.

Originally conceived as a way to pay tribute to Cooper’s drinking buddies of yore, their self-titled debut album featured covers of classic songs by The Who, Led Zeppelin, Badfinger, John Lennon, Harry Nilsson and more, with three originals tacked on.

The second time around, they appear to be changing up that formula. Rise is said to be mostly originals with a few covers.

Rise is set for release on June 21. Check out lead single “Who’s Laughing Now”.
