Smashing Pumpkins Give Up on Dead Music Format

(Blabbermouth) The Smashing Pumpkins will begin recording new material later this spring, according to Spinner.com, but the band doesn't expect to release a full-length follow-up to last year's comeback album, "Zeitgeist".

Drummer Jimmy Chamberlin said, "I don't think we will make records again. I look at it like the old business model is dead and the music business doesn't know how to move forward. We want to keep things vital and keep things viable and get our music across while remaining relevant. Music has in many ways just become an advertisement for your tour."

Chamberlin said the PUMPKINS, who are out of their record contract, will probably start releasing songs, explaining, "It's just in our best interest to release blocks of songs. And I think what we'll do...is to create the framework where we can release a number of songs and maybe create a title. We can gather three or four songs, but it will all flow up to a larger body of work." - more on this story
