Steel Panther have that perfect melodic edge that allows the music to be taken seriously even while your ribs hurt from laughing at the lyrical content. are at the very top of their game once again! The guy’s ability to fuse humour with the best of rock is something that sets Steel Panther apart from so many who have tried to walk the walk before them and failed. “Friends With Benefit’s” carries on that theme, with a gnarly riff opening up the track and biting guitar work over the opening verse you know Satchel & Co. Opening with the killer “Never To Late (To Get Some Pu**y Tonight)” you know you are firmly back in the world of Steel Panther, it’s blistering start just whets the appetite for those Sunset Strip classics and with Satchel’s blistering guitar work and Michael Starr’s signature vocals you are in for a treat. It feels like a blast from the past once again listening to the latest Steel Panther release with a collection of 80’s hair metal classics with a very deliberate sense of humour that just takes it home. Unbelievably Steel Panther drop their sixth studio album on Feb 24 th and in what feels like a blink of an eye they are still at it, still on the very top of their game with their latest release.

The Panthers are back, lock up your daughters because they are “On The Prowl’! As you would expect, this is not an album for the faith-hearted and that’s just how we like it! I’ll never forget my first encounter with The Panthers, I used to work in luxury car sales for my sins and one of the perks was a company car, or the ability to take a car home when you wanted to try one out also, and low and behold I went home in a trade-in, turned on the music system and was greeted by “Death To All But Metal” and my life has never quite been the same since.
