The Vines have reportedly scrapped their planned
album that was due out later this year. They are instead going in a totally
different direction; “Party metal”. This according to bass player
Patrick Matthews, who discussed the band’s future plans with Britain’s
NME.
Matthews said fans can expect the
“party metal record” to be released in early 2004. They are currently recording
the album with producer Rob Schnapf.
He went on to explain why the band was
changing direction: "The first record was us going into the studio straight
from playing in a garage. With this record, we've been playing a lot of
the songs in soundcheck or at gigs for the last year or so.
"Some of the songs have a bit more of a
Pavement feeling, something that never really came across much on the first
record. Saying that, it's much heavier now with Hamish [Rosser, drums]
and Ryan [Griffiths, guitar] playing, there's much more of a Van Halen
influence.
"At the end of the day, I feel that finally
we've made our party metal record."
NME furthered their report with this juicy
tidbit for fans of the band, “Despite heavy studio security, band insiders
have told NME that the new material is heavier than anything on Highly
Evolved, while the ballads resemble ‘early solo John Lennon’".
