“Apocalyptic Love is at heart a collection of lean, high-octane rock-and-roll tunes built to be
blasted out of open-top sports cars or, more suitably, open-air stadiums.”
–Rich Bienstock, REVOLVER (**** four out-of-five star CD review)
As the Grammy-winning guitarist, songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee SLASH gears up for the May 22 release of his second solo studio album APOCALYPTIC LOVE, he’s announced a run of headlining shows in North America kicking off July 12 and wrapping August 4 with up-and-coming Canadian group Monster Truck supporting.
