The Stooges' fifth and final studio album, Ready to Die, is a triumphant return to form for the proto-punk pioneers. Released on 30 April 2013 via Fat Possum Records, this 11-track masterpiece clocks in at 38 minutes, packing a punch that is quintessentially The Stooges. With Iggy Pop's unmistakable vocals, Scott Asheton's pounding drums, James Williamson's scorching guitar, and Mike Watt's driving bass, the band delivers a high-energy performance that is both playful and unapologetic.
Featuring tracks such as 'Burn', 'Sex and Money', and 'Gun', Ready to Die is a testament to The Stooges' ability to craft infectious, garage-rock anthems that are as catchy as they are rebellious. The album's care-free tone is a deliberate departure from the band's previous effort, The Weirdness, and marks a new chapter in their storied career. With Ready to Die, The Stooges prove that even after 40 years, they can still produce music that is raw, unbridled, and utterly captivating. This album is a must-listen for fans of punk, garage rock, and anyone looking for a dose of unadulterated energy and excitement.
The Stooges, originally known as the Psychedelic Stooges, are an iconic American rock band that formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967. Led by the charismatic Iggy Pop, alongside guitarist Ron Asheton, drummer Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander, the band is widely regarded as one of the pioneering forces behind the proto-punk and punk rock movements. Their raw, aggressive style and confrontational live performances, often featuring acts of self-mutilation by Iggy Pop, earned them a notorious reputation and a dedicated following. The Stooges' debut album, released in 1969, is a landmark in the genre, featuring classics like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "1969." Their subsequent albums, including "Fun House" and "Raw Power," further cemented their influence on the punk rock genre. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, The Stooges continue to inspire new generations of musicians with their groundbreaking sound and rebellious spirit.
