Celtic punk band Flatfoot 56 working on third album

CHICAGO-based punk folk band Flatfoot 56 are about to go into Absolute Sound studios in Houston, Texas to begin work on their new as yet untitled album (their third). Overseeing the project is producer/engineer Johnny Rioux of Street Dogs. Said the band's singer Tobin Bawinkel, "We are all very excited about the new material. With the combination of having newer and more mature music, coupled with working with Johnny Rioux as producer, we are expecting to put out a record that not only carries the Celtic traditions we have become known for, but also take what we do in a direction that is harder-hitting and more intelligent."
