Aerosmith’s First New Music in Over a Decade

Here’s a fun tidbit for longtime Aerosmith fans: One More Time marks the band’s first release of new music in 12 years. The EP was produced by Matt Schwartz and features the unmistakable talents of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, and Tom Hamilton. Filling in on drums is Matt Sorum, known for his work with Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, stepping in for Aerosmith’s Joey Kramer, who was unable to participate due to health reasons. It’s a formidable lineup that bridges classic rock with contemporary flair, making this EP a true celebration of the band’s legacy and its evolution.

Songs That Hit the Sweet Spot Between Past and Present

The EP’s tracklist is a fantastic mix of fresh sounds and nostalgic vibes, featuring original songs “My Only Angel,” “Problems,” “Wild Woman,” and “A Thousand Days.” To top it off, they’ve reimagined Aerosmith’s 1976 classic “Back in the Saddle,” injecting it with new life and energy that fans old and new will appreciate. The artwork for One More Time is another highlight, crafted by luxury brand Chrome Hearts—a first-time collaboration that perfectly matches the EP’s bold spirit.

Behind the Scenes: The Magic of Collaboration

Joe Perry candidly shares how the partnership blossomed:

“A year ago, I got a call that YUNGBLUD wanted to come to Sarasota to work with me and write some songs. I had heard his single and said, hell yeah, this guy’s got the juice. Four days in the studio and we got to know each other along with his team. I called Steven and told him, you have to hear this guy YUNGBLUD — he’s the real deal. Fast forward to May and we’re in the studio with Steven recording new music. The end result turned out to be an amazing collaboration between Aerosmith and Yungblud. Let the music do the talking.”

Tyler also chimed in on the electric chemistry:

“For Joe and me it was another cosmic collision to find ourselves in the studio with this outrageously talented and positively wild animal named Dom. Here’s this kid that lives his life out loud [and] grew up on our records and the British Invasion, and now we’re in the studio together creating something that bridges generations. He devoured all the same greats looked up to and then he started to dream on. It’s as simple as that.”

YUNGBLUD himself expressed his excitement:

“Aerosmith have been such a staple of rock’n’roll and showmanship for me, so I’ve been ready for this my whole life. As soon as we entered the studio, the chemistry exploded and the songs just poured out of us. It’s the kind of collaboration that young me wouldn’t even dream of, so to sit here holding a vinyl in my hand that says Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD on it is truly blowing my mind. Steven and Joe are at the top of their game and working with them is a huge fucking honor. I’m making records with my heroes, the show is insane every night and rock’n’roll is waking the fuck up, whether you like it or not. I’m loving every second.”

Why This Collaboration Matters Now More Than Ever

There’s something magical about watching a veteran band like Aerosmith team up with a younger musician who channels the rebellious spirit of rock past but with a fresh, modern twist. It’s a reminder that rock music, despite the shifting tides of popular genres, still holds a timeless power to unite and energize generations. In a world saturated with fleeting trends, One More Time is a revival, a shout from the rooftops that rock ’n’ roll is alive and kicking.
