Renowned musician Steve Conte, known for his work with the New York Dolls and Michael Monroe, has revealed information about his forthcoming studio album, “The Concrete Jangle”, which serves as the successor to his 2021 opus “Bronx Cheer”.
Scheduled for launch on Record Store Day (on April 20th, 2024), this 10-track album features collaborations with XTC’s Andy Partridge, who co-wrote five of the songs with Conte, including the newly released single “Shoot Out the Stars”.

There are certain artists who just define what a New York City rock song should sound like. These songs have attitude and grit, but find a way to sparkle and soar like skyscrapers. It’s a rare blend, and when the concrete, steel, and vibe come together the impact they make is unmistakable, and usually lasting.
STEVE CONTE is one of these. Known for his work with the New York Dolls and current Michael Monroe guitarist, Conte has spent his entire career honing his craft collaborating with a diverse range of artists, including Peter Wolf, Eric Burdon of the Animals, Billy Squier, Maceo Parker, and he even served as the rehearsal vocalist for Paul Simon during solo and Simon and Garfunkel tours.
That has all come together on his new album, ”The Concrete Jangle”, a stellar album that will captivate with its energetic vibe and rock ‘n’ roll spirit. The collaborations featured on this record are a testament to Conte’s influence in the rock world, with a line-up that reads like a who’s who in the industry.
Steve Conte fittingly, is on Steve Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records, and perhaps best represents what the vision for the company has always been built around. This music may not be intended to save rock and roll, but to anyone who decides to hit “play,” it will be a gateway back to a moment when Rock really did rule the world, and every one of us wished we could play guitar; maybe still do.
