Warrant - Tentative Album Title Revealed
California hard rockers Warrant have been in the studio recording their seventh studio album with legendary producer Keith Olsen (Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Scorpions) at the helm.
The CD - featuring singer Robert Mason (ex-Lynch Mob) - is tentatively titled Rockaholic and will be released worldwide in May through Frontiers Records.
In a recent Twitter update, the band states: "Three new songs mixed and sounding killer... stoked! 11 more to go."
Bassist Jerry Dixon commented: "The last few years has been like holding in a big "secret"from the world and now we get to share it. I really think we captured a perfect mix of the past and present on this record. Each song has its own vibe that's going to take people on a kick-ass Warrant rollercoaster ride. To help achieve an old school sound mixed with the flair of today, we called on the legendary Keith Olsen to do the production. There's enough '80's influence on songs like "Tears In The City" and "Sex Ain't Love" to keep the die-hard Warrant fans rocking while introducing them to new material."

TMZ reports: "We're told Lane was scheduled to appear in court on February 23 to show the judge he's completed his alcohol classes and community service - but he never showed. The court date was rescheduled for February 24... but Lane missed that one too.
We spoke to Lane's lawyer, who says the singer has been in the hospital and won't be able to make it to court until next week. As for why he's in the hospital ... no word."
