The band appeared on Radio 2 this morning to speak about the dates and also to premiere their new single God of Rock and Roll. It’ll be the second track to drop from their forthcoming seventh studio album, Power To Play, which is due out on June 9.

According to the band, it ‘[throws] off the shackles of expectations, focusing on the things they love the most - primarily making music together with raw, loud and live guitars - and delivering their biggest, boldest and most brilliantly noisy statement yet’.
