The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica: “I Think We’ll Have A New Record This Year”

During an interview with Amped, The Devil Wears Prada vocalist Mike Hranica offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the effort may surface this year.

Hranica said the following about the new material:

“I think Jeremy’s [DePoyster, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA guitarist/vocalist] already kind of said this before, but we couldn’t make happy songs if our lives depended on it. So when the next record inevitably comes along, and we have a lot of songs we’re sitting on, people can expect to feel as sad as ever, because even when we kind of put it to the test to brighten things up, it’s, like, that’s just not THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA at all. So I don’t wanna say more of the same, because that’s the last thing that any artist wants to do, but it certainly hasn’t gotten brighter, I’ll say that.”

He also added the following about release plans:

“I think we’ll have a new record this year. We’ll see. And then hopefully this time next year back [on the road] in E.U., U.K. and, yeah, doing it all over again. [It will be] year 21 [for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA] by then, if we’re not dead. So, we’ll see.”
