During their initial run, they became known for hits such as Strange House and Who Can Say and their last studio album, titled V, was released in 2017.

But their new record Night Life will be released on March 21 2025 and the band will also play a string of live dates.

The band wrote on Instagram: ‘We’ll be playing some special intimate UK shows in November and December.

‘Anyone who has pre-ordered via our online store will be automatically entered into the pre-sale, starting Friday the 4th at 10am until Tuesday 6pm BST.

‘We look forward to seeing you there. There’s no point in looking back.’

Despite their years away, the band have managed to amass a social media following of more than 40,000 fans. 

The indie band released their comeback single The Silence That Remains on October 2.

Prior to that, the band teased in September that something was on the cards. 

The wrote on Instagram: ‘THE HORRORS ARE NEVERENDING, THE HORRORS ARE BACK, THE HORRORS NEVER WENT AWAY .’

The band formed in the early 2000s and gave their first performance in an East London pub in early 2005.

Lead singer Faris (pictured in 2017) admitted that the band’s last album campaign nearly led to their split 

By 2006, they had signed a deal with Loog records and the music video for their debut single Sheena Is a Parasite starred a young Samantha Morton.

During their last album campaign, lead singer Faris, 38, admitted that they almost split up for good.

He told GQ: ‘We weren’t enjoying it or getting on. It’s weird, I look around and it doesn’t seem to have worked for a lot of people.

‘The thing is, I’ll always do things and probably some of that will be on my own. I’m terrified of boredom.
