Band reformed in 2012 and new material will be first since 1994’s Second Coming

The Stone Roses are preparing to release their third album – more than 20 years after their second, according to reports.

The reformed band announced a set of live dates in Manchester and Scotland in November, having got back together in 2012. And there have been rumours of new studio material ever since.

According to the Mirror, a source said: “Ian Brown and the lads have been busy getting their next album ready. It will be album number three.

“It’s a long time coming but they feel the time is right now. They’ve been back in the studio. Everyone is very excited about it.”

Announcing the live dates last year, another unnamed source was quoted by the *** as saying that fans hoping for a new album would soon be “getting their wish”. The source reportedly added: “When the band reunited in 2012 there was never any concrete plans. But now they feel everything is in place to record a new album”.


A spokesman for the band did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday.

Many Stone Roses fans will have hoped to have got their hands on a new album already – the band’s bassist, Mani, having promised a new release for 2015. Speaking two years earlier, he said the band had been “working on a few bits” and, asked when a release could be expected, he said: “2015 man, 2015.”

However, earlier in 2013, Mani’s bandmate John Squire had predicted a new album would take “about five years” to finish.

After a successful first album in 1989, the band got into a legal fight with their record label and did not release any new material for five years. Two years after their follow-up album Second Coming, the band split up.

The 2nd one wasn't any good so I don't have much hope for this one

I liked Second coming.
I mean lets face it they were on a hiding to nothing no matter what they released it was going to be held up to the standards of the first Album and after such a long wait it had no chance of being seen to be as good as.
Only my opinion of course and not really a popular one but i dont see how they of done better than Second Coming .

Im scared and excited to see what they come up with.

Yeah true. I'm not too familiar with their work in the hiatus but I did like a couple of Ian Brown's solo songs (F.E.A.R., Stellify, Golden Gaze) so it should be interesting

New single hits at 8pm tonight....so excited (and nervous in case its no good). I never quite get the hate for the 2nd album...sure it wasn't as good as The Stone Roses but it was never going to be to be honest....Ten Story Love Song is a great song. Roll on the gigs next month even if means having to step foot in Wastelands.
