New York rockers the Goo Goo Dolls – who hit the big-time in 1998 with their single “Isis”, taken from the movie City Of Angels – have announced they’re set to release their ninth studio album, Something For The Rest Of Us, in August.

Featuring the brand new single “Home”, the 12-track disc has been produced by the band alongside Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, David Bowie), Garbage drummer Butch Vig, and John Fields (Jimmy Eat World).

 According to lead singer and guitarist John Rzeznik, the themes on the new disc “address the disillusionment of the difficult period we live in; I wanted to give a voice to the emotional uncertainty that accompanies hard times.” The 44-year-old rocker says it’s all about connecting with fans who’re going through hard times. “So many people are struggling to keep it together through tough economic conditions and two wars that seem to have no end in sight,” he points out. “The ones who bear the brunt of these burdens are everyday people. That’s who I want to speak to.”

With more than 20 years together and 10 million albums to their name, the Goo Goo Dolls are currently touring throughout the USA. Something For The Rest Of Us is due for release on Friday 27 August, and tracks are:  “Sweetest Lie”, “As I Am”, “Home”, “Notbroken”, “One Night”, “Nothing Is Real”, “Now I Hear”, “Still Your Song”, “Something For The Rest Of Us”, “Say You’re Free”, “Hey Ya”, “Soldier”.
