Cheap Trick bass player Tom Petersson says the band has finished one album and is "halfway to another record already."

Speaking with reporters, the bassist says the band has no plans for slowing down.

"The thing is we're going to keep going," he began.

"We want to record a record every year and just keep them coming out, like in the old days when everybody had a record out every six months, us included.

We're writing all the time, so what good is it if those [songs] don't come out?"

The band's follow-up to 2009's The Latest is due sometime in 2016.
