Great White - Working On New Music
Great White guitarist Mark Kendall stated in a recent interview on the '95 KGGO' radio station that he and his bandmates have been working on new music that he hopes will be released this year. The band's follow-up to 2017's Full Circle will mark the debut of their new singer Mitch Malloy, who replaced Terry Ilous in 2018.
Kendall commented: "We've been writing a lot of music, so we'd like to get something out this year. We'd like to get some new music out this year, because that kind of keeps us motivated. I think that's the reason we've been around so long - 'cause we keep trying to better ourselves and make the best music we can; it kind of keeps your energy up."
He also commented on the importance of making new music at a time when so many classic rocks acts focus on performing nothing but their greatest hits: "I've made the analogy before, but, to me, it would feel like going out and selling the same painting every year. It just gets old. Because the creative part is a big part for us. I have this pipe dream that I'm gonna write the greatest song I've ever written. That kind of keeps you energized. Just to go out and kind of do the same thing every year, it's fine, because people are coming to hear the old songs and whatnot. But for our personal motivation, we need to keep being creative. But we never bombard people with, like, 20 new songs or anything."
