Boston will be hitting the road this summer for the first time since 2012. The band revealed a series of dates to promote their most recent album, 'Life, Love & Hope.' The 'Heaven On Earth' tour kicks off in Hollywood, Fla. on June 5, and wraps up on August 12 in Springfield, Ill. Wi...

Boston's new album, 'Life, Love & Hope,' features a blend of the band's classic sound with some new elements -- including some rapping and a rare lead vocal from leader Tom Scholz. But according to Scholz, he was neither trying to recapture the past nor fit in with the present.

Boston have undergone a lot of lineup changes over the course of the band's 37-year history, but their sound has always remained more or less the same, with very few concessions to current trends. As bandleader Tom Scholz revealed during a recent interview, that's at least partly because he doesn't even know what those current trends are.

The countdown to the next new batch of Boston recordings has begun in earnest, and although the Dec. 3 release date for the band's first new LP in 11 years might still feel pretty far away, at least we now have a record cover to look at while we wait.

Boston will reportedly release their first album since 2002 this fall. It's the sixth from the classic band, and the first to be released since singer Brad Delp committed suicide in 2007.
