Reel Big Fish Won't Play New Songs At Warped

To keep their ardent supporters entertained, Reel Big Fish are currently hard at work on a follow-up to 2012's Candy Coated Fury.

“We're writing songs as you and I speak,” trumpeter Johnny Christmas says, “they are percolating in our very small brains.”

But unfortunately, Aussie fans heading to Warped will have to wait a little longer to get their skank on to the new stuff.

“Aaron won't play any songs before [they've] been released on a record, which I kinda understand because people want to sing along with our music,” says Christmas, “and after releasing Candy Coated Fury, that record was one of the fastest accepted by our fans.

"As soon as it got released, as soon as we started to play those songs, people were singing them in the front row – it was really special. So hopefully we can have another release like that, that gets taken up by everybody and really loved. So we will do our best to write only hit songs.”

Christmas assures us, however, that the band will make their upcoming performances count. All that he asks from us is that we move, sing, drink and bring dessert .

“Oh, pavlova is one of my favourite things,” he smiles. “And you guys can drink! Oh, you guys are a challenge, [but] we accept that challenge and we will drink right along with you.”
