The multi-platinum selling band from Buffalo, NY - The Goo Goo Dolls will be releasing their ninth studio album this week."Something for the Rest of US" is a 12 track, hit filled, mature and profound Cd that will help catapult the band to a new and exciting level. The Goo Goo Dolls spent over two years perfecting this Cd and it was time well invested. Audience's that have seen the band perform this summer have had the honor of hearing many of the new songs and have reacted in a very positive manner to the new material. The band's current single "Home" is in high rotation on many adult contemporary radio stations throughout the country and the video is climbing the Vh1 top 20 countdown.
The Goo Goo Dolls are currently on a massive tour of North America that started in April and will conclude on Oct 30 in Salamanca, NY. The band will then head over to the UK for a brief tour.
During a break from his hectic schedule, our good friend and Goo Goo Dolls bassist/songwriter Robby Takac was kind enough to call us here at RockMusicStar. We discussed the new Cd plus much more. Here's what Robby had to say. To read the interview click here.

i grew up listening to the Goo Goo Dolls..I think the first album i got was Superstar Carwash and i immediately went back and picked up all of the earlier stuff. The Goo"s today are a totally different band then those days and i really miss them. Limiting Robbie to two songs that aren't rockers at all is really depressing, and Johnny's attempts to re-write "slide" and "Iris" are just plain boring. I returned their last album for a refund and this one is going back too. I'd love to see Robbie due a side project and get back to the "Cheap Trick meets Ramones" style of Rock they were known for. This album makes everything Paul Westerberg has done solo seem up-beat..and that's not a compliment.
