The Lawrence Arms Offer Album Update, Future Plans (EXCLUSIVE)

The Lawrence Arms formed back in Chicago in 1999. Since then, the melodic punk power trio got five albums under their belt and have toured continually. But it's been a long time since that last record (2006's Oh! Calcutta!) and Noisecreep was lucky enough to recently catch up with the guys in Los Angeles before a highly anticipated one-off show they did at the legendary Viper Room.

So in the alley behind the building we hung out for a while before the show and got all caught up with bassist/vocalist Brenden Kelly and guitarist/vocalist Chris McCaughan on where the new record is at, the direction that it's heading and how these longtime pals got started in the first place.

The Lawrence Arms have an official Facebook page. You should check it out.
