And elsewhere in Liverpool band news, The Coral have revealed details of their new album entitled 'The Invisible Invasion'.
Work on the album started at the beginning of last year at a rented house in the Lake District and the band say that comparatively little has changed from recordings they made at that time. The album has been produced by Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley.
Band member James Skelly said: "This record is all the best bits of all our previous albums rolled into one. We also wanted an album we could play live in comparison to the last one. It's a lot warmer-sounding, we wanted the first few records to sound the way they did, with more treble, but this time we wanted to explore something new. We're still learning, so you've just got to keep working hard and then one day you'll be able to look back and see you've made some records that really stand out. You can only really know that later on, for now you've just got to get on with it'. I know I'll never play music as good with anyone else as I do with The Coral. They're my best mates."
The album will be released on May 23, and will be preceded by the release on May 9 of the first single to be taken from the album,
'In The Morning'.
