**The Cocktail Slippers**, the raucous five-piece all-woman rock outfit from Oslo,
Norway, will release “Shout It Out Loud,” their 5th full-length album (and first
in 7 years).

The album, out on Wicked Cool Records, was produced by the band, and co-produced
by **Stevie Van Zandt** and **Mike Hartung.** A ten-song trip through the world 
of this fiery female troop who wear both their passions and their musical influences
on their sleeves, ‘Shout It Out Loud’ boldly demonstrates that the best way to express
one’s self is at the top of your lungs, and trumpets the band’s mission to prove
just how intensely they mean what they say.

Despite the long time between albums, the band has kept busy with live shows, writing
new songs all the while. The four satellite radio hits they’ve released as singles
in the past few years – “Excuse Me” (co-written with popular Norwegian artist Ida
Maria), “Night Train,” “Like A Song Stuck In My Head” and “City On Fire” – all appear
on an album for the first time here. “She Devil (Shout It Out Loud),” which lends
part of its title to the album itself, got the group’s 2021 started with a bang 
when the song was featured as _Coolest Song In The World_ on **Little Steven’s Underground
Garage.** The track features a satirically sexist, tongue-in-cheek spoken word cameo
from **The Mighty Manfred**, frontman of longtime Wicked Cool labelmates The Woggles.

While staying true to the fast-paced Garage Rock sound that has cemented their reputation,
the band is confident this new album marks a step forward in their songwriting. _“
We write all the time, and we can write about anything!”_ explains Rocket Queen._“
But we’ve learned that writing is often about re-writing.”_

The album’s tenth and final track is its only cover, an update of the late-’60s 
Joe South classic “Hush,” originally made famous by Deep Purple. _“We’ve been doing
it live for awhile and this was supposed to be a B-side,”_ says Hope. _“Stevie heard
it and said, ‘This is too good for a B-side, it needs to be on the album.’”_

After catching the ear of Van Zandt in the 2000s – interestingly, years before the
actor, artist and impresario would go on to star in the Netflix original TV series
Lilyhammer, about an American gangster in Norway – the group came to New York at
his invitation and delivered a scorching set at the **Underground Garage Festival**
with **Iggy & The Stooges, The Strokes** and **Bo Diddley.**

The band has enjoyed other brushes with greatness along the way, like a London Calling
set on a bill with **Paul McCartney** and **Bruce Springsteen**, as well as time
spent with idols like **Jimmy Page, Joan Jett** and **Blondie.**

When live performances return on a mass scale, the Slippers will support the release
with touring in the U.S., U.K., Spain and Scandinavia. Norway shows are slated to
begin this August.

The Cocktail Slippers’ playful spirit is always on display in their music videos,
including the recently released clip for “She Devil (Shout It Out Loud)” which captures
them strutting around the streets of Oslo, and not quietly.

When all is said and done, the five Slippers are a tight-knit gang of friends. _“
When we’re not hanging out as a band, we’re hanging out as friends, with and without
our families,”_ Sugar shares. _“Hope loves both cross-country and downhill skiing
and is a mean captain on her own boat.”_

_“Rocket finds great joy in renovating houses,”_ Vega adds. Miss A-OK continues;_“
Sugar is a great photographer. Vega makes and edits movies. A few of us are more
than a little geeky about cooking. Miss A-OK even grows her own vegetables on her
balcony.”_

The group is thankful for Van Zandt’s continued commitment to their music. _“Mister
Silvio Dante a.k.a. Stevie Van Zandt gave us an offer we couldn’t refuse,”_ Rocket
Queen says jokingly of how they joined the Wicked Cool fold years ago.

Shout It Out Loud! is the latest Wicked Cool release distributed by The Orchard,
another gem from the label which also boasts Jesse Malin, The Dollyrots, WYLDLIFE,
Steve Conte, The Woggles, Soraia, Marc Ribler, Kris Rodgers & The Dirty Gems, Jessie
Wagner, Ryan Hamilton & The Harlequin Ghosts and The Empty Hearts on its expanding
roster.

**The Cocktail Slippers are:** 
Hope – Lead Vocal Vega – Guitar Rocket Queen – Guitar
Sugar – Bass Miss A-OK – Drums
