MÖTLEY CRÜE will release the “Cancelled” EP on October 4. The three-song effort contains the title track, MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s cover version of the BEASTIE BOYS classic “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)” and “Dogs Of War”, which was made available in April. All three songs were recorded in April 2023 with longtime producer Bob Rock.

“It was really great getting in the studio and working on some tracks together,” MÖTLEY CRÜE offered in a joint statement. “What started out as a couple demo ideas turned into this EP produced by Bob Rock. We look forward to getting back into the studio again soon and writing more new music, as well.”

MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s version of “Fight For Your Right” has quickly become a fan favorite since the band first debuted the song live during their secret 2023 club show at The Underworld in London, U.K. At its premiere, 450 lucky, sweat-drenched fans who came out to see a band advertised as DÖGS OF WAR got the surprise of a lifetime when MÖTLEY CRÜE took the stage with the BEASTIE BOYS classic in their set list.

The veil of speculation surrounding the DÖGS OF WAR pseudonym was finally lifted when the band released their first new single since 2019 by the “Dogs Of War” name in the spring of 2024. “Dogs Of War” subsequently became a Top 5 Rock Radio hit, accompanied by a highly acclaimed music video by director Nick DenBoer. The cutting-edge visual, which is entirely CGI-based, features the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE navigating an exhilarating post-apocalyptic world.
