The Von Bondies, the Detroit garage revivalists who made noise with “C’Mon C’Mon” and whose drummer once found himself in fisticuffs with Jack White, are finally prepping the follow-up to 2004’s Pawn Shoppe Heart, Billboard.com reports. The new album, Love, Hate and Then There's You, marks the band sophomore major-label release, and Butch Walker—the tour de force behind the knobs for Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, The Academy Is..., Rock Star: Supernova, Lindsay Lohan, and, er, Pete Yorn, among others—produces the album’s last three songs.

Much has happened since the band pawn shopped their hearts. They lost their guitarist, bassist, and their bassist’s replacement. Frontman Jason Stollsteimer and his wife parted ways and he formed a new band, Hounds Below. But despite all this, it “doesn't mean there isn't still a Von Bodies," Stollsteimer told Billboard.com.

We’ll hear what the new Von Bondies, who purportedly play like the old Von Bondies, sound like when Love, Hate and Then There’s You drops sometime in early 2008.
