Punk pop stars Sum 41 should have their next studio set ready for early 2007, according to a new message posted by the band this week.
Following the departure of founding guitarist Dave Baksh in May, the Canadian act hit the studio to begin recording their fifth album in the summer, and have finished laying down the instrument segments - leaving singer Deryck Whibley to add his vocals in the new year.
"Today was the last day in the studio before we take our Christmas break. We have finished all the drums, guitars and bass for the album. We're going to take a break now until the new year," reveals Whibley. "Then I will start singing all 20 songs we recorded. It's been going amazing so far. Stevo and Cone did such an amazing job. We're three quarters of the way finished the album now. But there's still a lot of work ahead. "
"As always we'll keep you updated as much as we can. Also keep checking back here to see our new online TV show Road to Ruin. It will be up very soon"
