MSO has issued the following AEROSMITH update:

Look for Boston rockers Aerosmith to get back to work on a new album later this month. And they've picked the perfect day - May 20th - to begin laying down tracks.

"It's Armed Forces Day," reveals Steven Tyler, "and we're going in with guns ablazing!"

Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton recently told TheRockRadio.com that the band would be back on tour in September, and they should be able to bang out a new album fairly easily: "You know, we're being positive and ambitious, and we'll see how much we can get done between now and then. I don't see any reason why we couldn't - we've got a bunch of material that we really love that we just haven't used in the past, so we can use a few of those as a starting point, and then write a bunch of new ones."

Aerosmith was forced to cancel a bunch of shows on their spring tour after frontman Steven Tyler suffered a broken blood vessel in his voice box. He recently told rollingstone.com that the injury is all healed.
