Red Hot Chili Peppers To Release New Album In March 2011

Red Hot Chili Peppers are on course to release their new album next March, drummer Chad Smith has revealed.

Smith told Music Radar that the band were currently half-way through recording the follow-up to 2006's 'Stadium Arcadium'.

“I think we've tracked about 20 songs already, and there's a few more left to do,” he said. "Then we'll whittle them down to make the best record.

“We always cut a lot of songs and see which ones rise and which ones fall - that's just how we like to work.”

But the drummer added that the album wouldn't be a double-LP like its predecessor.

Red Hot Chili Peppers new album will be their first to feature new guitarist Josh Klinghoffe, who has replaced John Frusciante.
