It's official, the Smashing Pumpkins are, indeed, back in the studio working on their first new material for, oh, I don't know, a decade? Billy Corgan is, of course, involved in the new project, as is original Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Who else is in the studio with them is not, as yet, particularly clear. We were going to try sending someone along to see, but then we remember we are in Scotland and they are in the States, so that wasn't going to work. But this is what the band themselves have posted on their official website: "The Smashing Pumpkins are currently in the recording studio with legendary producer Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, The Cars, The Darkness), at work on their first new album since 1999".
