The Jam Set To Record New Album

The remaining members of The Jam, Bruce Foxton and Rick Butler, plan to record a new album this year, it’s been revealed.

The pair, who now play under the name From The Jam – with guitarists David Moore and Russell Hastings taking the place once occupied by Paul Weller– said they also hope to release a live DVD this May.

"There will be new material, (but) it probably won't see the light of day until the end of this year," Foxton told Billboard.

"We've got a few good ideas kicking around. We'll see what we come up with. We don't want to rush it. There's no pressure from a record label or anybody. It's a great position to be in."

Foxton described the band’s sound as “experimental” because of the new influences of both Moore and Hastings, and that more would become clear when they enter the studio in April.

“I'm not sure what direction we're gonna go in,” he said, when asked whether the lyrics would be politically driven. “We're not sure who will actually come to the forefront on the lyrical side yet."

From The Jam's live DVD will feature footage from a show in London last December.
