Background

edit

In early 2019, band members spoke of recording a tenth studio album, though Chad Kroeger conceded there was no timetable or rush for the band to complete it.[10] Mike Kroeger spoke of his personal desire to move in more of a heavy metal direction, or wanting to do an album of Slayer cover songs.[11][12]

On August 14, 2020, the band released a cover of the Charlie Daniels Band song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", featuring Dave Martone.[13][14]

During a July 2021 interview, bassist Mike Kroeger commented when asked about the band's progress on new music: "That is happening right now" he said of the forthcoming LP. "Music is being composed and recorded up in Canada. We were out there, and something came up and our producer had to take some time off. So I took that opportunity to return (home) to Los Angeles with family and spend a little bit of time at home. But I'll be headed back up there in a couple of weeks to pick it up again." When the subject of a release date came up, Mike said "it'll be done when it's done", explaining that he and band would rather not be confined to a timescale for fear of making "a shitty record". "Release dates are primarily arrived at by business interests, like record labels and whatever. We don't have one of those," he said. "We've been managing ourselves for about a year. So, the answer is no. We're doing it on our schedule, at our own pace, and it'll be done when it's done. 'Cause we've blown up deadlines in the past lots of times. Because we feel that you can make a good record and be late, but you can't, or you shouldn't, make a shitty record to be on time. So we won't be pressed for time.[15][16][17]

Promotion and release

edit

On August 31, 2022, video of the band's video-shoot for the lead single "San Quentin" was posted online by fans who attended video-shoot via their social media posts. The single was released on September 7, 2022.[22][23][15][24] The second single "Those Days" was released on October 5, 2022,[25] followed by a music video on October 26.[26]

During an interview with WRAT radio station, lead vocalist Chad Kroeger spoke about the lyrical inspiration for "San Quentin", saying: "I met the San Quentin prison warden at a party. And I couldn't believe how young he was. I was, like, 'There's just no way that you're the warden of San Quentin,' and everyone was, like, 'Yup. He is.' Guy Fieri's a buddy of mine, and I was at his birthday party a few years back. And the entire time we were talking, I'm speaking to this guy, but in my head all I could think about was, 'I'm gonna write a song called 'San Quentin'. That's it.' And I stuck it in my notes in my phone. And then once the riff was down, I think I screamed out this line, 'Can somebody please keep me the hell out of San Quentin?' And we just took it from there."[27][6]

"San Quentin" has been featured in the credits of Velma season 1.
