The Automatic will release their first material since keyboard-banging yelp-child Alex Pennie departed the band on August 18. Pennie was replaced by former Yourcodenameis:milo frontman Paul Mullen.

'Steve McQueen' is the single's name, and it's coming your way via B-Unique. It's the first track to be lifted from the four-piece's new album, This Is A Fix, due for release on August 25.

The band plays live as follows:

August
23 Reading Festival
24 Leeds Festival

September
28 Oxford Academy
30 Birmingham Academy 2

October
1 Northumbria University
2 Manchester Academy 2
3 Glasgow Garage
4 Nottingham Rescue Rooms
6 Sheffield Academy
7 Bristol Trinity
8 London Scala

That new song just sounds like

A so-so Fighting With Wire song.

God I'd love to see YCNI:M back in action

Nothing against the automatic though. It'll be interesting to see what Paul Mullen can bring.

Shit band, shit name for a song, shit song.

I love YCNI:M, and I'm still pretty gutted that Mullen didn't go on to do something else as a frontman, rather than become a member of this awful awful band

I like it,

although i'd much prefer it if Mullers was singing lead vox.
