Lead singer Rick Witter said: "We've spent the last couple of years writing and demo-ing secretly and have more than an album's worth of material that we can't wait to share with you. We feel now is the right time.

"We're looking forward to 'Shedcember' where it will be business as usual, you'll get to hear all the songs you rightly should expect to hear but this time with a light sprinkling of new music to top it all off."

They play King George's Hall on Monday, December 4.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday from King George's Hall in person, by phone from 0844 847 1664 or kinggeorgeshall.com
