Jack Black has told Entertainment Weekly that his two-man band with Kyle Gass, Tenacious D, is back in the recording studio. Since the band released their film, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, the band has not come out with any new music. Their next foray in the studio, however, will likely not produce an entire album, and probably only one song. But, hey, it’s better than nothing. Read more…

As ZZ Top enter into their 40th year of making music together, the little old band from Texas have a lot of secrets to their incredible staying power. One of them, for guitarist Billy Gibbons, is keeping up on new music. To that end, the rockers will get a hand from the Black Keys on ZZ Top’s next album.
“They’re couple of really fresh blues-based rockers that truly say it,” Gibbons tells Spinner of the Keys.
The forthcoming album is being produced by Rick Rubin, and Gibbons believes the pairing should result in a pretty raw sound. “We’ve enjoyed a friendship with Rick, which now includes an opportunity to focus our collective energy in a studio setting, which is actually more like bringing the live show into the room,” Gibbons says. “The art of capturing the maverick rogue called ‘live in the studio’ is what Rick does so well — better than anyone.”

From NME.com:
Billie Joe Armstrong has hinted that their forthcoming new Butch Vig-produced album could take a “power pop” direction.
The frontman did not reveal song titles or details of the songs they are currently working on in the studio, but name-checked The Creation, The Who, The Beatles, Cheap Trick and The Jam as possible influences.
“I really like fucking with arrangements,” Armstrong told Altpress.com. “I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write power-pop music.
“How do you take something - and it could be anything from The Creation and The Who to The Beatles to Cheap Trick to The Jam - and try to expand on the idea of what is supposed to be three-chord mayhem?
“How do you do it in a way where the arrangements are just unpredictable? So I’m pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter.”
The frontman went on to discuss working with Vig, who produced Nirvana’s seminal grunge album ‘Nevermind’ in 1991. “He doesn’t take for granted what we have here [in the studio],” he said, “but he uses everything to the best of his knowledge and the best of his ability.
“I mean, he gets psyched on a fucking microphone! That’s inspiring. That’s amazing. He’s not a cheerleader type of producer; he’s just a very hard-working, straightforward guy.
“He’s very Midwestern, too. For example, he’ll turn around when you’re working on something and just go, ‘That’s badass.’ And you’re like, ‘What do you mean, ‘badass?’ Is that more bad, or is it, like, ass?’”
