Stream New Billy Idol Album ‘Kings and Queens of the Underground’: new album follows singer’s recently released autobiography ‘Dancing With Myself.’
Billy Idol’s new autobiography Dancing With Myself came out last week, and he’ll be following his lurid tell-all with Kings and Queens of the Underground, his eight studio album, and first release in nearly a decade.
Idol is giving fans an advance taste of the album before the albums official release on October 21st. Fans in the U.S, Australia and New Zealand can stream it for free via Pandora radio by clicking here. And British fans can stream it via the Guardian by clicking here.
The album ties in directly to the dark drug and sex fueled tales for the singer’s career. It features longtime guitarist and collaborator Steve Stevens and was produced by Trevor Horn (Pet Shop Boys, Seal, Yes).

You posted the playlist twice!
Oops! Fixed now.
He’s got a winner on his hands here, those four guys from Ireland could learn something from Billy’s latest. Not a weak song in the bunch and no apple tie-in required.
There is some good stuff on here, but I’m not sure about the production. I really liked ‘Devil’s Playground’ and the heavier rock sound. Also the title track is a little too on the nose lyrically. It’s growing on me though. It was a lot of fun to talk to Steve Stevens, he gave a lot of great insight into the recording process.
