TRUTH be told, it’s been far too long since we heard from The Sheds. York’s most successful band haven’t released a studio album since 2001’s... erm, Truth Be Told.

But Shed Seven lyricist and lead singer Rick Witter has always said he has continued to write.

Now the band has confirmed they plan to release a new album. There’s no title or issue date yet, and the songs have yet to be recorded. But the release will be followed by the band’s biggest ever tour at the end of this year.

The Sheds are back, in short. That’s good to see. They’ve been off the radar for far too long.
