That wouldn't surprise me. I'd be disappointed but it has been 7 years. Its been a long time to not make music. I know he prefers Knife Party to Pendulum as stated in many interviews but we'll see. He has however stated he's open to making new music with pendulum so we'll see. I hope they do make new music but wouldnt be surprised if not
Also really looking forward to Imagine Dragons, The 1975, and Memories...Do Not Open by The Chainsmokers! In addition, I can't wait for Logic's third album (possibly titled AfricAryaN), Blossom by Milky Chance, Halsey's second album, Melanie Martinez's second album, Blackbear's third album, the new Gorillaz album, Kiiara's debut album, and potential twenty one pilots/Mutemath/X Ambassadors (unconfirmed). And obviously One More Light
White Reaper's new album comes out first week of April. They make great pop punk (this coming from someone who generally despises that sound/scene). Their melodies are the real deal. I'd recommend their last album too.
I just found out The Rasmus are releasing their new single, Paradise on March 31st, so I'm really looking forward to that. I'm interested to see what direction they go in with their sound on their upcoming 9th album. I didn't mind their last self-titled that was released back in 2012 but I did miss the energy from their previous records as their self-titled was more soft rock and ballads with a few funky trademark songs. Looking forward to this album and can't wait for them to announce the official release date! Announcement here:
To name a few: NF Eminem Linkin Park Hollywood Undead Sadistik Witt Lowry System of a Down 30 Seconds to Mars Also, dare I hope for a Twenty One Pilots album?
