In other pilots news, Tyler recently told Kerrang! how the duo have been collecting new ideas for album number six on their Bandito Tour.

“I’m always working on songs," says Tyler. "What I’m doing right now is really just collecting a lot of ideas and a lot of sounds. We have the ability to bring recording gear around the world with us, and so the instruments are there, the tools are there, the resources are the and the inspiration is there. So we’re just kind of collecting ideas right now.

“If anything, writing is tough for me on the road, just because of the logistic reason of vocal rest, and needing to take a break in between shows so that my throat can recover. There’s always going to be a bit of limitation to what it is we’re able to write on the road, just because we’re trying to recover from each night of playing. So we’re not sure what our strategy is, except that while we’re touring, we’re going to make sure that we have a basin to catch all of the cool ideas that may come to us as we’re performing.”

Tyler also adds that he's still very much soaking in and enjoying Trench, which was released last October: “I think that everyone in a sense is always like, ‘Alright, well what’s next?’ and I wanna be like, ‘Wait! There’s so much going on over here, let’s just take a breath and enjoy this!’”
