Social Distortion huitarist Jonny "2bags" Wickersham says the band hopes to have a new album out by sometime next year.

"Hopefully we're going to get busy when we get home from this current tour," Wickersham says. "Yeah, we've been road testing like four songs into the set and working on songs at sound checks and stuff, which we do pretty regularly. There's one that we've been doing for quite a while called 'Can't Take it With You.' It's a cool rocker.

"And we just recently put 'Bakersfield' back in the set, which isn't a new song but it's looking like it's probably going to get recorded. We've been doing it off and on for a couple of years. That's kind of like a country song in a way. It's different, not a straight-up country tune."
