Sixx: A.M. — the band consisting of Nikki Sixx (also of Motley Crue), DJ Ashba (also of Guns n' Roses) and James Michael has begun writing material for its third record. According to Sixx, the album will probably be a 2013 release considering the body of work the band is setting as a goal.

"7", the latest EP from SIXX: A.M., came out last month. The effort contains acoustic versions of songs from the band's first two records 2007's "The Heroin Diaries" soundtrack and 2011's "This Is Gonna Hurt".

The band plans on doing a proper video for its next single "Skin" in the near future. Skin" comes off Sixx: A.M.'s sophomore effort, "This Is Gonna Hurt", the 11-track album is a companion piece to Sixx's "This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx" book, a follow-up to his New York Times bestseller, "The Heroin Diaries".
