In addition to their upcoming tour plans, Ratt - featuring Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Juan Croucier (bass) and Warren DeMartini (guitar) - plan on recording a new album.

In an interview with The Signals Of Intuition radio show, Pearcy reveals, “There's some rock bands afraid to put out new music, thinking, you know, they wanna hear the classics. Well, of course, but you can show 'em you've got a left nut too. It's like, ‘what, you don't make records anymore?' 'Man, I don't need to.' It's, like, ‘yeah, you do'."
