(10/24/02, 1 p.m. ET) - Rock singer-songwriters Matthew Sweet, Shawn Mullins, and Pete Droge have started working on their first group album with producer Brendan O'Brien in Atlanta. Each member of the trio has enjoyed hits on his own, and they decided to start a band earlier this year and named the collective Thorns. However, a copyright search revealed a British heavy metal band with the same name, so the band moniker is up in the air until they can find out whether or not the U.K. group still exists.
Sessions began Tuesday (October 22) and the resulting album is expected out in the first half of 2003 via Aware/Columbia Records.
Sweet guested earlier this year on the Counting Crows album, Hard Candy, while Droge assisted singer-songwriter Kim Richey on her new effort, Rise.
