‘Fun, fast, cheeky’ Scouting For Girls go old-school for new album
It's been 10 years since British pop rockers, Scouting For Girls, broke onto to music scene and now the band have promised to back to their roots for their upcoming record, 10 add 10.
Following their performance at V Festival this weekend, the band's frontman, Roy Stride, has announced a new album which promises to be “classic Scouting For Girls.”
Speaking to the Press Association, he said, “I went back and listened to the first album and tried to work out things I did on that album which I haven’t done recently.
“They are all songs that work really well live and I listened to all the big songs like Heartbeat, Elvis Ain’t Dead and She’s So Lovely.
“They are all really fast, they are all like 150bpm (beats per minute) and so I started to try and write a lot of fun, fast, cheeky, Scouting For Girls pop songs.”
Roy also revealed that the upcoming album would have a strong 80s influence as well as “two or three songs are the best we’ve ever done.”
