June 20, 2025 – Enuff Z’nuff are back with a sweet serving of XTRA CHERRIES, the highly anticipated 21st studio album chock full of their signature power pop music stylings mixed with melodic rock, which is due out July 25 via Cleopatra Records (their first of all new material for the label). It’s all topped off with even more treats: a lineup of stellar guest artists!
The Blue Island, IL maestros—led by founding member Chip Z’nuff (singer, bass, rhythm/lead guitars), Jason Camino (rhythm/lead guitars), Luis Kalil (lead/rhythm guitars), Daxx Nielsen (drums/percussion)–have once again produced a lush and hook-filled collection of songs, which include performances from fellow legendary musician friends Robin Zander of Cheap Trick, original Journey vocalist Robert Fleischman and current Journey guitarist Neal Schon, Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler (on the CD only), Steve Stevens, and Gunnar Nelson.
The closing track, “Shine,” features Fleischman, Schon, and original lead vocalist/guitarist/co-founder Donnie Vie, who hasn’t sung with the band since 2013. Also, late original guitarist Derek Frigo—who passed in 2004–makes an appearance thanks to an old demo of “You Make Me Wanna Lie,” which also features a new vocal recording by Robin Zander of Cheap Trick.
The album’s first single, “Heavy Metal,” was released today on all digital outlets HERE, while a video for the song can be seen on Cleopatra Records’ YouTube page HERE. Digital pre-orders of XTRA CHERRIES are available HERE, while CD and vinyl copies can be pre-ordered HERE.
“The new Enuff Z’nuff XTRA CHERRIES record is a potpourri of songs celebrated through our kaleidoscope of what Enuff Z’nuff is about,” proclaims Chip Z’nuff.
XTRA CHERRIES is the follow-up to 2022’s FINER THAN SIN, which was described by TheRockPit.net as, “another satisfying slice of Chip’s Enuff Z’nuff. Maybe even their best so far since Donnie left.” While Maximumvolumemusic.com said, “FINER THAN SIN is impressive for many reasons but the word you keep coming to is ‘energy.’ Simply bands of the same vintage don’t have the drive that Enuff Z’ nuff have.”
High praise has been cast on Enuff Z’nuff since their early breakout days, including Howard Stern who said, “Enuff Z’nuff deserves the rock-star status.” KISS’ Paul Stanley hailed, “Their debut is a classic.”
David Letterman declared, “When it comes to rock n’ roll, these guys are all you need.” Little Steven Van Zandt proclaimed: “Enuff Z’nuff is one of the most underrated bands in the world” and AllMusicMagazine.com perfectly sums up the band’s legendary and everlasting career, “Enuff Z’nuff is one of – if not the – most underrated band to appear out of all the hairspray and bright colors.”
