Peter Garrett who is the lead singer of 80’s rock band, Midnight Oil, has just announced that he’s writing new original songs again in over a decade. In 2002, Peter quit Midnight Oil all of a sudden to start a political career and became an environmental minister. Peter said he wrote a bunch of new songs. He didn’t record them yet but he’s considering it.

Despite his belief in Climate Change, I hope there will be a new Midnight Oil album ’cause that would be great. I’ve always been a fan of that band ’cause they’ve always wrote great rock songs. I hope there will be a new Oil album. If his new songs that he’s been writing are not gonna be for the Oils, he could be putting together his first solo album so who knows.

Peter is a talented singer and songwriter, though. The Oils wrote a lot of rockin’ songs. Their music is great stuff.
