Hot Water Music has confirmed that they are working on new songs for a future album. Over the past week several audience members from the band's in-progress UK tour reported this story to Punknews, claiming that Chuck Ragan had revealed the news to the crowd. We have since independently confirmed this with the group. No release date or further details have been announced. We will keep you posted as this story develops.
