Indie UK band Editors have released some details about their highly anticipated third album. Titled 'In This Light And On This Evening', Editors have slated the new album to be released sometime this September.
The boys from Birmingham (UK) debuted onto the scene with the stellar album 'The Back Room' (2005), drawing major comparisons with US band Interpol. Their second album 'An End Has A Start' (2007) was released soon after with their sound now being compared to that of U2!
Editors, named as the second biggest British band of the decade after Arctic Monkeys by The Sunday Mail newspaper (UK), have been lying low for the past few years, but thanks to the help of producer Mark 'Flood' Ellis, they're back. The band say the material will have a more raw and anthemic sound compared to their previous work.
God we're looking forward to it. We're ready for the Editors to reappear in our lives once again.
Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan's had to cancel the band's European tour because what was reported earlier that he had severe gastroenteritis was actually in fact, a "low-grade malignant tumour."
The tumour was discovered in Gahan's bladder while in hospital after he collapsed just minutes before taking the stage at the band's Athens concert on 12 May.
good news though, the tumour has been successfully removed and Gahan is now under doctors' orders to rest.
An official statement released by the band read: "Dave Gahan sincerely thanks his fans for their support, understanding and patience. Depeche Mode deeply regret any problems or inconveniences the cancellations and postponements may have caused."
Peter Doherty (pronounced Dockerty for those who didn't know) has said that The Libertines will reform next year.
The guitarist was fired as the band's frontman in 2004 following a series of rows with bandmate Carl Barat over Doherty's drug use - and the band subsequently split.
But the pair, along with drummer Gary Powell, put their problems behind them and reunited for an impromptu gig in London last month.
And now Doherty said he is looking forward to a full Libertines reunion, with bassist John Hassall, in 2010.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper (not the most reliable of sources), he said: "Definitely next year, we will do it."

In case you were missing them from your life, the Arctic Monkeys are back with a third album for all you fans. The yet-to-be-named album will be released on August 24th.
The Monkeys of our era, as previously mentioned, have joined up with two producers for the album - James Ford (half of Simian Mobile Disco) and Josh Homme (frontman of Queens of The Stone Age). We at Music Universe have no idea what mashed-up sound we are going to get from this new album, but we are definitely interested. James Ford has already worked with the Monkeys producing their second album 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'. That album claimed to be called the most anticipated second album in a decade. It was stronger, harder, sharper, faster and also left us thinking what might they do next. One can only guess having Josh Homme on board now.....you thinking stoner rock??? Going by their latest picture (seen above) - maybe.
