Reel Big Fish have officially entered the studio to record the follow-up to 1998's "Why Do They Rock So Hard?" The Orange County-based band is working with veteran producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, James Taylor, Neal Diamond.) The new album is tentatively slated for a spring 2001 release on Mojo/Universal Records. Reel Big Fish will be touring internationally at the end of the summer and will mostly likely follow that up with some US college dates in the fall.
