More bands recording new music! The most recent is, well, one of the biggest bands on the planet: The Killers. The group has been on hiatus for about a year to work on solo material, but recently began playing select shows and have told Spin that they are heading into the studio this week.
In the interview, drummer Ronnie Vannucci offered, “we’re getting in a room to grease the machine. We’ve traded ideas for songs online and worked songs out during soundchecks. We have some songs written, plus some that haven’t been released that are on the cutting room floor. The objective is to get in the room and see what we come up with.”
There is no timetable for the eventual release of LP4, but Vannucci added “it’d be nice to have the album out before 2012 — you know, before the world ends.”
As to what to expect, Vannucci concluded, “we want to make the best record ever with this one. Everybody’s in that mind set of really focusing and putting the hammer down to make it happen.”
