Train Rocks + Is Looking Forward to Cruise Time

Train wrapped up their Mermaids of Alcatraz Tour last night, but the fun doesn't stop there. The band has live appearances scheduled through August, and is excited about their first-ever fan cruise in February.

Getting back into the studio may take a little while, but Pat Monahan says the band has already got a concept for the new album with a slightly different direction.

"I wanna make a rock record," he tells ABC News Radio, "Of course I'd like it to be on pop radio, but there's a thing that isn't happening anymore with, like, riff rock, and I miss it a lot." He adds, "It's hard to write a great guitar riff but I think we can do it, and so it's gonna be a lot of fun stuff like that."
