The New York Dolls have have talked for the first time about their first studio album in 32 years.
The band, who feature two members from the original line up - Sylvain Sylvain and David Johansen, have been in a Mahattan studio working on the new material.
Producer Jack Douglas told Rolling Stone of the tracks recorded so far: “When I heard the new songs, I knew they were capable of sounding like the Dolls but not as nostalgia. They had the stuff."
Sylvain says that although the band have stripped away the glam-punk styling of old they are still in essence the same band and sound.
He told Rolling Stone: "When you took off the makeup and spiked heels, at the bottom of it all, it was the blues. We were a blues band. We played those three-chord progressions."
Tracks expected to appear on the album so far include ‘Plenty Of Music’ and ‘Beauty School’.
