The Sunshine Underground finish new album in Scotland

It?s been ten years since their explosive 2006 debut Raise The Alarm - a dance-punk record that surfed the new rave wave into the UK?s wider consciousness. Two sold out tours resulted in a cult following of which the quite bizarre stories include boxes of Yorkshire tea being regularly waved in the air at gigs. The band played 'The Other Stage' at Glastonbury plus Reading and Leeds festival. They also played the NME tour plus three sold-out headline tours alongside LCD Soundsystem and The Happy Mondays, building an impressive live following around the country along the way.

Four years of touring, writing and recording passed before the band released their 2010 second album Nobody Is Coming To Save You. Their trademark explosiveness was still evident, but this was a more rhythmic and patient affair. Another four years passed until the release of their self titled album.

They return this summer in 2016 with their highly anticipated fourth album. Largely self produced, The Sunshine Underground, is a reinvention of sorts, a refocusing on their first love - electronic music. The overall result is an album nobody would have expected. A clean slate and self-titled purposefully to hit home this feeling of identity, the hard beats and glittering synths mix with The Sunshine Underground's original dance-punk origins to create an almighty collection of contemporary electronic songs.
