Possible they did an interview with Daniel P Carter and it's going to be released as part of the album promotion?

They can start teasing the album early feb, single Feb 14th for Valentines day, since they love the love theme.

They typically do Kerrang and Revolver too, that's their go to press.

They've been oddly quiet on social media lately.

Seems like they usually take long breaks before announcing tour dates, but since they're going on tour in a month, you'd think they would be posting on ig like they usually do to hype the tour or to announce new dates

I didn't get the impression that that was the nature of their chat; he also said he was guessing (I read presuming) that the new album would be coming this year. It really didn't sound like this was early promo.

I don't mean the thing he said on air, I mean maybe he interviewed them while he was there and will air it when things are being announced?

This is all just pure copium at this point in time.

Lol we're all fishing for signs.

Give us a bite, @Tokyodrifter

Can someone tell the band they're not cool or mysterious for dragging this out

Nah, I would think it'd be in the hands of the record label at this point.

Tokyo drifter account is gone...

We can only hope to summon the mighty @rumors

Tokyo Drifter supremacy. I believe in my guy. Prove the heathens wrong.

They're notorious for dragging this out, the silence is all part of their hype. Besides, they've said they don't like giving out dates or whatnot because it's not up to them and they don't want to disappoint their fans with dates that are subject to change.

I think we all know by now the only thing we can do is wait until something comes out of nowhere, or we get leaked info.

C'mon Tokyo, throw us a frickin' bone...

I could see them dropping a single near valentines day, but they would have to start promoting the new album cover right about now.  Watch it be the later half of 2025 at this point lol, 2 more hours..

Hey Chino, where's the new album?

And we're breezing through January too lol. Only two weeks left. Tour is only a month away. Something's gotta happen soon, right?

Right?

The fact that we are all gathered here and actively writing messages in this topic already indicates that something will happen soon. Or not lol

The funny thing is there's no confirmation that they've finished making it, inclusive of mixing and mastering. It's likely they have. But also not impossible that we're eagerly awaiting teasers for an album that won't come out for another six months; that as an overall package is still being finalised.

If there's an announcement before the end of the month I wouldn't be surprised. And if there isn't an announcement before the spring I wouldn't be surprised either. It's always a quiet waiting game with this band. A pregnant pause.

Chino's wife said he was working on "important album business" early Dec, per an instagram comment.

Which sounds more like finalizing than recording. Otherwise why not just say he was in the studio?

I dunno, personally i'd find it hard to believe that the label would let them go on a full on tour before finalizing the album.  Maybe they won't announce anything by the end of the month, but hopefully they give us some info around the tour dates.. they must be chomping at the bit to play some new shit live... right? They love debuting new songs live.

Two more fucking hours

Maybe the real new album is the friends we made along the way
