Italian action rockers MAD DOGS have unleashed another electrifying taste of the band's upcoming album "The Future Is Now", scheduled to be released on September 5 via Go Down Records. After the band recently unleashed the first single "No More Lies", they are now presenting the second intense piece from their upcoming album, entitled "Black Sheep". The song is accompanied by a lyric video, which you can watch here:

The band about the song: "This punchy track kicks off with thunderous drumming, a rumbling bass line, and a driving melody - like a runaway train charging full speed toward a destination called Rock’ n 'Roll. Lyrically, we want to convey the same grit, daring you to break free from your habits, step out of your comfort zones, and chase your own kind of freedom, even if it means standing out as the black sheep. This song doesn’t ask for permission. It demands one thing only: crank the volume up!"

Set for release on September 5, MAD DOGS’ new album, "The Future Is Now", is a high-voltage blast - a rock’n’roll manifesto forged from a raw fusion of Garage Rock, Action Rock, and Proto-punk. It’s a bold and intentional work where searing guitars, the thunderous rhythm section, and catchy melodies collide across eleven adrenaline-fueled tracks that channel the band’s unmistakable grit, passion, and defiant spirit. The cover art - a ‘cosmic valve’ vision that straddles retro-futurism and 60s pulp art - visually echoes the sonic detonation within. The Future Is Nowisn’t just a title; it’s a declaration - a rallying cry to live unapologetically, seize the moment, and shape your identity on your own terms.

"The Future Is Now" will be coming out via Go Down Records and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION. Digital pre-save is available HERE.
