New Album

We still haven’t seen any official announcements from the band, but it’s clear that something is happening in the world of Van Halen — and the latest mini-flurry of VH activity, which includes the band’s first official Facebook page and a warning from vocalist David Lee Roth to ‘get ready…,’ has sparked a new round of rumors regarding their long-awaited new album.
