Members Current members But we are gonna do a tour in June and July and then come home for a couple of weeks and then try to do as much as we can for about three or four months.' According to Martin, once the band is done with its 2019 touring commitments, they will subsequently disband: 'Yeah, that's the last hurrah – that's it. We only have a little bit of a window of opportunity, 'cause Paul's on the road for pretty much the rest of the year and then we might have a little opportunity in February to cut something. If we only have six songs, then there's your EP, but if we have more, then we'll cut an album. Just get some great drummers to do an ode to Pat Torpey.' The singer went on to say that it is not clear if they will record new EP or a full-length album. I wanna do a new record, and I also wanna have a couple of different drummers on it, ones that Pat really liked, like maybe Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Sons of Apollo) or Gregg Bissonette (David Lee Roth), Ray Luzier from Korn – I really like his playing. I wanna spend more than six days on it, like we did with Defying Gravity album.
'I'm kind of the one lately getting everybody together for conference calls and e-mails and what we wanna do.
In October 2018, Eric Martin said in interview with Friday NI Rocks that the band is in the process of planning their next album.
