what are they doing at the minute?  are they writing a new album?

I know Justin has a solo single out in a few weeks and he's also working on a celebrity darts TV show which I believe will be on satellite/cable.

Yes it has already been written according to an article on the NME, and even though bass guitarist Frankie Poullain (who was sacked in March due to 'musical differences') claims to have co-written it, he will not be featuring in the album, with Dan Hawkins laying down the bass tracks.

Richie Edwards (who has been the bands guitar tech) is the replacement

A possible release for the album is October 17th (single on Oct 3)

But first Justin Hawkins is to release a cover of Sparks' 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us', on August 8
