Happy Mondays To Record New Album


According to manager Warren Askew, Manchester band the Happy Mondays will record a new album after their successful UK comeback tour earlier this year. This new material would be the re-formed line-up's first album since 1992's 'Yes Please!'.

"Yes, we are now planning to record a new album, after the success of the tour and with the band all getting on so well,” Askew has said. "Shaun has been writing and the band have been getting together in the studio putting ideas down. I’m sure it will be a great Happy Mondays album."

Frontman Shaun Ryder was quoted as telling the Daily Star: "At first there was no chance of the original line-up doing another album and then it went to maybe and now it's definitely gonna happen.

"I'm writing lyrics now. I'm always scribbling stuff so we'll take it to Sunny Levine, who will produce the album later this year."

Watch: The Fixx Video For Their New Single 'Anyone Else''

The Fixx have unveiled the video for their brand new single 'Anyone Else', taken from their recently released (July 17) first new album in nine years 'Beautiful Friction'.

The Fixx achieved huge success throughout the whole of the Eighties, particularly in America where they scored three No.1 hit singles, five in the Top Five, a dozen reaching the Top Ten, as well as selling millions of albums in the US and right around the globe. The band’s greatest hits album has sold more than two million copies to date.

About the album, lead singer Cy Curnin said:

"It seems we've all ground to a bit of a halt with so much unrest, the Occupy movement, debt, war and more. We ultimately see this album as positive, eager for the dawn of a new era, the possibility to change the way we see the world and to view it with more optimism. That's why we called it Beautiful Friction – the times we live in are tough, but there's a beauty in that. There's a hope."
