The brothers announced their new project earlier this year titled The Album, due to be released on 12th May. This is the band’s sixth studio album and is reportedly “inspired by 70s influences.”

In an interview with E! News, Nick Jonas revealed, “We’re taking the roots of what our sound is, but also going back to our roots and pulling from those ‘70s influences we grew up listening to.”

They have cited The Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder and Boston as influences for their new project and have hinted at a tour to follow. Kevin Jonas said a tour “will be coming very soon.” He continued, “We are going to be doing a bunch of shows leading up to the album release as well. A lot of exciting things this year and the years to come.”

Sharing his brothers’ excitement for their new project, Joe added “A lot of things happened obviously in the last couple of years, so we never got the time to just connect, stay in one room and work on new music. To be able to do that and have that outcome that we had, we are so thrilled.”

The band released “Wings“, the first single from The Album back in February. The track teased their new 1970s inspired approach, coming in at No.91 on the UK Singles Sales chart.

The Album was originally scheduled to be released on 5th May but has been pushed back by a week. The brothers took to Instagram to announce that “Sometimes the best projects take a little longer than originally planned. We’re moving THE ALBUM release date back one week to May 12th and releasing it on vinyl too.”

— HECK (@abandcalledHECK) September 2, 2022

HECK’s history has been no stranger to publicity in the few years they were in the public eye. In 2015, the group were sued by Japanese film company Toho over their original band name, “Baby Godzilla”. Obviously, it’s hard to argue the case when they own the copyright to a character literally called “Baby Godzilla” (or Godzilla Junior in a few places, but the point remains the same) so they became HECK to avoid the lawsuit causing any real damage. Once the change settled, they released their debut LP Instructions. The album was particularly reminiscent of early Dillinger Escape Plan, or even some more grindcore-esque names like Napalm Death. But the timeline didn’t extend much farther than that. The split came the following year, and no one really knows why.

The band’s return this time around seems to have come with even less chatter than the previous. “It means the damn world that so many of you are still here for this band. Thank you for your patience. Smashing will resume this Friday. Big love to one and all.” Reads the band’s returning statement for 2000 Trees. After 5 years off, the wordless surprise return goes to show that some things aren’t really meant to change. No answers. All we can do at this point is hope that some more information comes to light. Why did they go? Why are they back? Does this mean there’s new music? Will we hear it? We may never know.

We may never go beyond what we have here. Odd one-off shows popping up every now and then. The prospect of new music seems to have been squashed after nothing new was even alluded to at the previous show. Maybe things will change.
