The band begin work on their 10th studio album this week.

In line with their 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th albums, the band will be using a one word title. This means keyboard player Damon Butcher’s idea of calling it ‘Sucked Off By Aliens’ has had to be shelved ’til album 11.

The line-up of the band will be the same as ‘Goldiggas…’ but with a brand new producer. Ian Stanley-Watson-Fowler-Welch (real name Ian Stanley) has previously worked with Hal, Tears For Fears, The Pretenders and a host of hardcore/heavy metal/rap bands, including Butt Munch, Liars of Ohio and I Kill Kellok. A record company executive has described early rehearsal tapes as ‘the natural bridge between very early Paul Simon and very late Demis Roussos. Snail metal in fact’.
