Trixter's Steve Brown Says New Album Could Arrive in Early 2027

More than three decades after their breakthrough during the golden era of melodic hard rock, Trixter are once again looking ahead to new music. According to guitarist and vocalist Steve Brown, the band is already deep into the writing process for their next studio album, which could arrive in early 2027.

Speaking in a recent interview with Australia�s The Rockpit, Brown revealed that the band has already made significant progress on the material.

�We are probably 75 percent done with it,� Brown said, explaining that the band currently has around 14 or 15 songs written for the record.

The guitarist noted that the biggest challenge has not been creativity, but finding the time to complete the project. Between touring and various musical commitments, Brown and bassist P.J. Farley often find themselves juggling multiple projects at once.

�The problem with me making a record is that every time I get sort of moving, I get called to do something else,� Brown explained. �But I can say this, it�s phenomenal.�

Beyond the album itself, the band is also working on a documentary project centered on the long musical partnership between Brown and Farley. Rather than focusing strictly on the history of Trixter, the film will explore the journey the two musicians have shared across numerous bands and collaborations over nearly four decades.

According to Brown, that enduring musical bond remains the driving force behind the band�s continued activity.

�It�s about our journey together and playing in all different bands and how we always come back together,� he said.

While the current touring lineup differs from the classic configuration that first brought Trixter national recognition in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Brown says the band continues moving forward with the same passion that defined their early years.

�I wish the original band was still together,� he admitted. �But as we get older, people have different ideas about how they want to live their lives.�

Today, Brown and Farley remain the core of the group, carrying forward the legacy of a band that helped shape the melodic hard rock scene of its era.

Despite the long wait for new music, Brown remains confident that the upcoming material will resonate strongly with fans once it finally arrives.

�When people hear the new music and the new record, everybody is gonna be blown away,� he said. �I know I�m proud of it. I know P.J. is.�

The guitarist reveals the band is already 75% finished with the record and hints that the new music could arrive alongside a documentary about his decades-long journey with bassist P.J. Farley.

For longtime followers of Trixter, the message is simple: the next chapter may still be in the works, but the band�s story is far from over.
