Hold our hands, 'cause Hootie & The Blowfish just announced their first new album in 15 years

It’s been 15 years since Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Jim Sonefeld, and Dean Felber—known, for better or worse, to the wider world as Hootie & The Blowfish—last released an album. (And 25 since the band’s ridiculously successful debut, Cracked Rear View, launched its way to 21-times-platinum record status.) For much of that time they’ve been on hiatus, while Rucker pursued his solo career as a country musician—albeit the sort of “hiatus” that included reuniting for regular charity concerts, because, for as much shit as they get over their name, the members of Hootie & The Blowfish actually seem like pretty good dudes.
