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.”

The record will include 10 brand new tracks along with a re-release of 10 of the band's greatest hits.

10 add 10 is will be available for download on October 17.

Scouting For Girls are due to embark on a UK and Ireland tour later this year, including a Dublin date at The Academy on Wednesday November 8.
