Once again, recorded in their facility within Blueprint Studios in Salford and produced by the band's Craig Potter, 'build a rocket boys!' continues one of the most intriguing and heart warming stories in British music.
"Lyrically this is a record about the ups and downs of being young through the eyes of someone who loved and hated it all at the same time. Ultimately though, when we listen back to this record in years to come it will remind us of how it felt to be the same old friends, in the same wonderful studio, in the same old town making another record we're immensely proud of but this time in the warm glow of having realized all the plans we made as boys. The album title recommends that everybody have a go."
