Goo Goo Dolls are
set to release their new album, Magnetic, on May 3. The
first single from the record, Rebel Beat,
is already making waves ahead of the upcoming release from the multi-platinum,
Grammy-nominated band.

John Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac and drummer Mike Malinin recorded in New
York, London and LA with Gregg Wattenberg (Train), Rob Cavallo (Green
Day), John Shanks (Bon Jovi), and Greg Wells (Katy Perry). Magnetic
is the tenth studio release from the Buffalo, NY trio.
“I'm
so proud of our new album…I've had such a great time and learned so much
from the amazingly talented people who worked on it with me,” says
Rzeznik . "I think that positive energy comes across on the songs.
Writing and recording Magnetic changed my thinking about making music and doing
it in a fun way,” he explains.

Goo Dolls have sold over 10 million albums worldwide. They are the only
artist to have three songs on Billboard’s Top 100 Songs from
