In an interview with Under the Gun, Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson mentioned that the band has begun recording a new album — albeit in pieces:

[The record is] in the embryonic stages. I have my studio, The Blasting Room, Stephen [Egerton] lives in Tulsa, and he has a studio too. Milo [Aukerman] even has a real small recording apparatus in his basement. Karl [Alvarez] still lives by me.

So I went in a couple of weeks ago and recorded, so we got 11 songs done, [but] just the drums. We’ll be passing those around, Stephen will be putting guitars on ’em, Karl will be putting bass on ’em, Milo will be singing on ’em. We’ll get rolling but it’s not gonna be like “Oh it’ll be done in a month!” It’s gonna take us several months.

The band may have their hands full too with the recent litigation affecting Stevenson and Egerton, who, as members of FLAG, have been sued by Greg Ginn of Black Flag. Descendents’ last album was 2004’s Cool to Be You. (via Under the Gun, Punknews)
