The Pigeon Detectives will release a new album this spring.
Emergency will arrive through Leeds indie Dance to the Radio on the 26th of May, almost a year to the day from the arrival of debut full-length Wait for Me.
That has since gone platinum and the band have sold over 70,000 tickets for their forthcoming UK tour.
Recorded with Stephen Street in Wales’ Monnow Valley, Emergency is currently being mixed by Cenzo Townshend.
“Emergency could describe the last 12 months,” says vocalist Matt Bowman.
“It’s been fairly frantic, everything’s been going at breakneck speed between gigs and touring and festivals. I think we’ve definitely written a record rather than a number of songs to play live.”
A tracklist will be confirmed soon.

"debut full-length Wait for Me. That has since gone platinum and the band have sold over 70,000 tickets for their forthcoming UK tour. "
FUCKING HELL, why?
i actually can't wait!
Wait For Me was one of my fave albums of last year and I am seriously looking forward to this one!
That came out in May?? Jesus
My life is slipping away so fast.
Jesus God and Mary Mary wept in unison
First the Kuntss and now the Pigeon Dicks
Unbelievably moronic "band", writing shite tunes wrapped in mindnumbingly bad lyrics, it purely music for the drunken fucks and Reading et al
AVOID
fair play to them
they aren't exactly great but they are really making as much of themselves as they can while they have the chance.
theyre a good time band
and i think theyre bloody ace.
perhaps my favourite "topman indie" band at the moment.
unlike Razorshite who fannied around for sooo fucking long
screw you borrell. yeah maybe i did see you on the street one day and should have shouted abuse, but thats what you want isnt it, to be the victim, i'm not giving you the pleasure you cunt
Love it,
They were brilliant at Reading, and just because a load of people bought their album, they still seem to have their heads screwed on. love it.
