The B-52s are back in the studio

Rockers THE B-52S are putting the finishing touches to their first album in 15 years, despite promising they would never enter a recording studio again.

The Love Shack band last released an album of new material in 1992 with Good Stuff, but decided to return to their hometown of Athens, Georgia to tape the new currently untitled disc.

Following a hiatus, the B-52s have been touring since 1998 and had no plans to record new material again. But singer Fred Schneider, who now lives on Long Island, New York, says, "We all lived down there for two months and just got back in the swing of things."document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
