Third album underway...Maybe...

[arctic]

The band are "<b>allegedly</b>" in the process of writing and recording new material in London.
This is apparently the reason for the band turning up at the Brit Awards.

A source found by the Daily Star said;

<i>“A lot of people were surprised to see Arctics at the Brits as it’s usually the kind of event they steer clear of.
Story continues below...

“The reason they went is because they’ve been down in London working on new material and fancied a night off to relax.

“Alex is overflowing with song ideas and it’s all going so well they’re looking at releasing an album this year.â€

hm... could just be rumours. would be great if it was true though.

[Glyn Jones]

i really hope so

[StillTakeYouHome505]

Too late! Hopes are up!

[naughtymate]

[berets,bows&batmanboo]

so that allegation would doubt any jamie leaving the band rumours?

Where did you get that?

[emmmmma]

I don't believe any of that Jamie leaving the bad crap...
Hmmmm i doubt there'll be a new album too if he wants to tour with Miles in October, it would be awesome though...and they can be unpredictable...hopefully at least an EP or some singles or something this year!

[arctic ana]

well,i'm sure they're gonna release something but i doubt it would be an album now when alex has so many obligations with the last shadow puppets...

[darwynna]

omg. it'd be fuking awesome if they do release new material. but alex is oh-so-busy with that shadow puppets thingy.. but they're not called arctic monkeys fer nothing. prolly haf something up their sleeves. remember the death ramps?

[matt4d]

i think an EP is more likely. even so, i sort of doubt it. ordered my Age Of The Understatement album though =D

[BeretsBowsAndBatmanBoots]

the jamie rumours are from a fake myspace that has been blown out of proportion
i don't believe them myself.
alex has said recently that theyve got loads of songs
so they'll probs start recording back end of this year
it wont be label pressure like with oasis through the 90's.
can't wait!
last shadow puppets better be playing in october/november

if they are i'm going.
birthday present from my brother.
doubt they'll play at fibbers in york
so i'll have to go to sheffield unless they play at leeds uni.
does anyone know anything of a tour?

Yeah, whatever happened to the death ramps?

[LastShadowPuppet]

hmmm id rather they took thier time, like they did with favourite worst nightmare
wouldnt want em 2 rush it now would we

id be satisfied with the age of the understatement for 2008, and all the touring that will come with that, nd thn early 2009 they can hit us with what will be mind-blowing new matieral (and possibly a return to LCCC in 2009 summer )

on another note.....is there any news with the live dvd that was recored in manachester at the end of last year - dates or somethin ??

[eltish96]

I really hope that the monkeys release a new album!!
