Johnny 3 Tears of Hollywood Undead discussed the band’s future release plans in an interview with SNS Mix. The band plans to release new songs in the coming months. Their approach to full-length albums is undergoing significant changes.
“We’ve got new songs coming out real shortly, within the next couple of months. As far as a new record-record? I don’t know. I don’t think we’re even planning on it — well, at least as of now,” Johnny 3 Tears revealed.
“I think those days are numbered, as far as putting out like, ‘Hey, here’s an album with fifteen songs on it,'” he continued. “I mean, at some point that will happen, but as of now, we’re just releasing songs. We have a bunch lined up. We’ll probably package them with some other songs and put out a record for those who want them.”
“But, you know, dude — cars don’t even have CD players in them anymore,” he added. “What are we going to release a record for? No one buys them, except for people who like vinyl. Now it’s funny, because outside of the artwork, there’s almost no incentive to make an album anymore.”
The band’s strategic shift towards singles-focused releases mirrors broader changes in the music industry. This transition coincides with significant developments in their career.
New Label Partnership
Blabbermouth reported Hollywood Undead’s recent signing with Sumerian Records. This new partnership marks a significant change in the band’s creative direction.
The move to an independent label represents a conscious decision to break free from major label constraints. The band now has greater freedom to pursue their artistic vision.
Streaming Success
Industry sources at Blabbermouth highlighted Hollywood Undead’s impressive milestone of surpassing 3.1 billion cross-platform streams.
This digital achievement validates their shift towards a streaming-friendly release model. The numbers demonstrate the band’s strong presence in the digital space.
Modern Music Consumption
Music industry experts at SNS Mix emphasized how the transition to individual releases aligns with current music consumption patterns.
The band can now maintain consistent audience engagement through this approach. Their strategy adapts to the rapid pace of digital music consumption, while traditional album formats become increasingly secondary to single-track releases.
