In a recent interview, Rise Against's Joe Principe revealed some information about the band's next full length and follow up to The Sufferer & the Witness.

We are going to do a new record in 2008 and tour in the fall, and when we go out we are really going to explore every avenue of every aspect of our show and see what we can do to cut back and save energy. Those lights definitely use a ton of energy.

We would like to have a new record out next summer. Everything could change, but that's the plan right now. Tim and I write individually while on tour and we will eventually show each other our ideas during soundcheck. All we need is a good two months to work out all the kinks, but we are always writing.

The band is currently driving across America touring with Silverstein, Comeback Kid, Smoke or Fire.
