Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale are back, but then you probably know them as the Audio Bullys. An as yet untitled third album will drop next spring; one of the album’s tracks, Kiss The Sky, can be accessed at www.audiobullys.com for free.

The album’s release should coincide directly with a string of tour dates that have just been announced for the UK. Simon and Tom will take to the stage March 8 in Sheffield before stopping in Nottingham, Oxford, Manchester, Crewe, Glasgow, Bristol, London, Birmingham, Cambridge and Margate. The final stop is March 20, Brighton.

The Kiss Kiss Bang Bang duo did have an album due last year but reportedly scrapped it last minute, unhappy as they were with their material. They’ve since set up with a new label and consolidated plans for 2010.
