Houston singer Bryan Scott joins rock band Sick Puppies

Houston singer Bryan Scott has a sweet new gig.

He's now the lead singer for Australian rock band Sick Puppies. The band and Scott announced it Monday with the hashtag #SickPuppiesNewEra.

"I can't begin to describe how ecstatic I am for this incredible opportunity! Everything in my life has led me up to this point and I am so beyond ready for it," he wrote on Facebook. "We have been writing a new album over the past year and poured everything we are into it, and we are so incredibly proud of the music we have made."

Sick Puppies formed in 1997 and has released four albums, including 2013's "Connect," which cracked Billboard's top 20. The band scored rock radio hits with "All The Same," "You're Going Down," "Maybe" and "There's No Going Back."

The band has posted a few new tour dates but nothing in Texas yet. A new single "Stick to Your Guns," has already been teased and will be available in March.
