The Rock 'N' Roll Circuz is a hard rock album by former Freak of Nature and current White Lion lead singer, Mike Tramp, released on 5 October 2009.[1]
The album is Mike Tramp's fifth solo album and the first since 'Songs I Left Behind' released in 2004, and follows on from White Lion's first studio album in 16 years, Return of the Pride released in 2008.[2]
The album was co-produced in Copenhagen, Denmark with guitar player Søren Andersen, and both band and album were named after the atmosphere created by Tramp in the studio. "It made us visualize this old fallen apart circus," said Tramp. "From there we built certain things into the songs and into the album". During the making of the album Tramp re emerged as a public figure in Denmark via his appearance on the reality music TV show "All Stars".[3]
Bass guitarist Claus Langeskov who also played with White Lion is the only original band member from Tramp's previous solo albums still playing with Tramp.
Released only in Denmark via Kick Music/Sony Music, the album was also made available via MikeTramp.com and hit the IFPI, Denmark's official top 40 hitlist albums' at number 16[4] on November 13, 2010.
The songs "All Of My Life" and "Come On" were both released as the album's singles with "Come On" also featuring a teaser music video.
