Discussing his plans for their next album, he shared, “I’d love to write an album that had nothing to do with me at all, that would be fun. I think that would actually be much harder, like an imagination album.
He continued, “So the next thing is really to get in a room with the guys, the band, and start playing each other the songs that we’ve written, because I’ve got a bunch of them.”
