A good piece of news from the world of rock n' roll...

Extreme is getting back together, releasing a new album, and going on tour next year...

Boston-based rock outfit Extreme is reuniting for its first studio album in 13 years and world tour in 2008, Billboard has learned. The group, best known for the 1991 No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit "More Than Words," disbanded in 1996 but reformed briefly in 2004 and 2006.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Extreme, they were a great funk/rock band that had a painfully annoying lead singer named Gary Cherone, an otherwordly lead guitarist named Nuno Bettencourt, and a very distinctive sound at a time when a lot of bands sounded exactly the same.

Here's a taste...
