MC50 Announce New Live Album ‘10 MORE’

I was incredibly fortunate to attend MC50 London date as part of their 50th Anniversary on 12th November 2018 at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. The entire evening was incredible and I am really grateful that they have captured the tour for fans both old and new:

earMUSIC proudly announces 10 MORE, the explosive new live album from MC50, out on December 5th, capturing the unrelenting energy of the 2018 world tour that reignited the spirit of one of rock’s most radical and influential bands.

The album – a companion piece to the 10 x MC5 record included in the bonus version of the 2024 MC5 Heavy Lifting release – is available for preorder via online retailers, and to presave now and on all major digital platforms.

Formed by MC5 founding member Wayne Kramer to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kick Out the Jams, the MC50 lineup united an all-star ensemble of rock innovators – Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Billy Gould (Faith No More), Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam) and Marcus Durant (Zen Guerrilla) – carrying forward the revolutionary power that made MC5 a lightning rod for change in the late ’60s and ’70s.

Captured live during the 2018 anniversary tour, 10 MORE roars through MC5’s most iconic songs – including “The American Ruse,” “Call Me Animal,” “Rocket Reducer No. 62 (Rama Lama Fa-Fa-Fa),” “Looking at You”, and “Starship”. With recordings from live shows in Seattle, WA, Cincinnati, OH and Hamburg, Germany, the album spans tracks from all three original MC5 albums – Kick Out The Jams, Back In The USA and High Time, along with a cover of Ray Charles “I Believe To My Soul,” which was a staple of the band’s sets in the late 1960s. These performances recall the same urgency that once echoed through Detroit’s underground, where MC5 fused rock, free jazz and political protest into a sound that challenged America’s status quo.

Following the acclaimed 2024 MC5 studio album Heavy Lifting – produced by Bob Ezrin and released shortly before MC5’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – 10 MORE continues the story of one of rock’s most influential bands with a powerful live recording that celebrates their lasting impact and uncompromising spirit. Stay tuned, new music is coming before the full release in December.
