Flatfoot 56 will begin recording their follow up to 2007's Jungle of the Midwest Sea with Johnny Rioux of the Street Dogs as producer.

The Chicago-based celtic-punk outfit will enter Absolute Sound in Houston, Texas on February 1st to begin the recording process for their new album, due out later this year. Though they are considering offers, they have yet to decide on a label for the album's release.

You can check out some music from the band on their myspace page.
