In a new interview with Metal Kaoz, TROUBLE singer Kyle Thomas spoke about the progress of the songwriting and recording sessions for the long-awaited follow-up to the band’s 2013 album “The Distortion Field”. He said:  ”Real progress has been made. The music is nearly finished being recorded. I have gotten into the recording of the vocals.

“Things happen very slowly in the world of TROUBLE,” he explained. “I always say that TROUBLE years are like dog years in reverse. (Laughs) It’s true. But it’s happening.

“I’m never a big fan of saying ‘it’ll be out by this time.’ I can’t say that,” Kyle continued. “Not to mention I’m the singer of the band. I’m not a part of the business side of TROUBLE — that’s not my job, and that’s the way it should be. But for me, my job is to do the best work that I can do for TROUBLE and honor the legacy and create great music with people I love playing with and look up to.

“Rick (Wartell) and Bruce (Franklin), to me, are probably the most criminally unheralded guitar duo in rock history, and that’s true. Any TROUBLE fan knows this. So, here we are. We’re putting together another album, and I’m very excited about it.

“I don’t wanna overhype it and give people a measuring stick that might be difficult to meet, but I’m extremely excited about the songs that they have given me to work on.”
