The new RHCP album is coming...

Anthony Kiedis says New Red Hot Chili Peppers songs are "As good as any songs we've ever written".

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been working hard at a new album for over a year now, with reports popping up here and there with an update on how everything is going. The band is still playing everything close to the vest, but singer Anthony Kiedis just provided some details about the band’s long-awaited new album.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kiedis discussed the band’s upcoming benefit show for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music as well as what’s been going on with the new album. First reflecting on a bit of both, the singer said, “The torture about doing this [show] is that we’ve been writing new music for the last year, and we’ve written some songs that I feel are as good as any songs we’ve ever written. We’re just dying to play the new songs — but we can’t, because every single human has a recording device on them at all times.”
