In an exclusive interview with KOOL107.9 FM, Cheap Trick singer Robin Zander says the band are currently working on a new album and hope to get out later this year.

"We’re working on another record right now as we speak," says Robin. "In fact, we just did a John Lennon cover song. I’m thinking we should put it out now, because it’s a great version of 'Gimme Some Truth'.”

Asked if the new record will materialize this year, Zander reveals, "Oh, it will be this year. We’ve already got a couple of songs that are mixed and ready to go. I’ll tell you one thing that we’re working on, that we’ve finished already, because it might not be on the record. It might be, but it might not be. I’d like to get [the cover of "Gimme Some Truth"] out as soon as possible, even if we don’t have the record ready, I’d like to put that out somewhere."
