LOS ANGELES, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Poison, one of rock's most iconic and enduring bands, has recorded a new album of cover songs, featuring many of their favorite rock classics. POISON'D!, the band's first new studio album since 2002, will be released June 5 on CD and digitally by EMI America Records/Capitol.

Featuring original members, Bret Michaels (vocals), C.C. DeVille (guitar), Rikki Rockett (drums) and Bobby Dall (bass), and produced by the legendary Don Was, POISON'D! packs 13 explosive tracks, including new recordings of David Bowie's "Suffragette City," The Cars' "You're Just What I Needed," The Romantics' "What I Like About You," and The Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers." Other classic Poison covers are also featured including KISS' "Rock and Roll All Nite," Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band" and Loggins & Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance."

On June 7, Poison will perform "What I Like About You" on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson." The band's "POISON'D! 2007" concert tour starts June 13 and will travel to more than 50 U.S. cities this summer. In July, VH1 will premiere a new reality show, "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels," where the hard-rockin' front man will look for a woman who can truly keep up with his rock-n-roll lifestyle.

Since the 1996 release of Poison's debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, the band has sold more than 25 million records and DVDs worldwide. Last April, Poison rocketed into Billboard's Top 20 with the #17 debut of the band's 20th anniversary hits collection, The Best Of Poison: 20 Years Of Rock, and they have no plans to slow down anytime soon.
