Say Hi To Your Mom are beginning to work on their fourth album. Eric has provided an update which you can read below.

Say Hi To Your Mom Update

My insomnia is back, which can mean only one thing: a new record is in the process of being made. I'm very excited about this one, mostly because I'll be making it with drummer Chris and keyboardist Jeff, who many of you have seen as part of the live show. It's will be nice to not sit in front of a computer for months nudging drum parts until my mouse finger is bloody. In about a week, we'll be heading to our friend Alex's studio in Williamsburg for ten days to do most or all of the tracking. He told me what the studio is called but I forgot,...

I'm insanely addicted to Hawthorne Heights' new song "This Is Who We Are."
