Red Hot Chili Peppers fans are excited about their new upcoming album.
And while it's in development, speculations suggest that the new record will most likely come this year.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, drummer Chad Smith revealed what fans should expect in their upcoming album teasing that they'll be releasing some new sound.
"And we wrote a bunch of songs that way," Smith said. "And we're now going to try another method that will be really challenging for us and will bring new, exciting results for the band."
"We've written and recorded in a way that we've never done before, so the record is going great. We all have high hopes that it's going to take off and we're going to do something very different and unique for the Red Hot Chili Peppers."
Following their 2011 hit album "I'm With You," Smith said that they are challenging themselves to find new ways to introduce new music to their fans.
"The new album is shaping up good, man," Smith revealed.
"We've got lots of songs, and we're working with an unnamed producer who is really challenging us to find new ways to come up with new music. We've done the 'guys get in the room and jam out songs, everybody playing together all at once' thing. And we wrote a bunch of songs that way. And we're now going to try another method that will be really challenging for us and will bring new, exciting results for the band. We've written and recorded in a way that we've never done before, so the record is going great. We all have high hopes that it's going to take off and we're going to do something very different and unique for the Red Hot Chili Peppers."
And while everyone is busy working on the new album, Smith surprised music fans as he appeared in Foo Fighters' New York show, where he jammed with the band.
According to Loud Wire, Dave Grohl introduced the drummer to the surprised fans as they cover "Stay With Me," while Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins took the mic and sang.
"So we went on a tour back in 1999 when we were kids and we were asked to open up for the Chili Peppers and we were like 'Yeah, we'll f-king do that.' And that's where we learned to be a band." Grohl said of the band's relationship with Smith and the rest of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members. "It's sure as hell where we learned to party."
