Placebo reveal new album details

PLACEBO have announced to fans that they will release their next album this summer.

The rock band said the as-yet-untitled album will be released in June and will be the first to feature new drummer Steve Forrest.

The album, the follow-up to 2006's Meds, has been produced by David Bottrill and will be released by PIAS, European entertainment group they recently signed with.

Frontman Brian Molko said, "We were very lucky to have so many great labels interested in signing us, it means a lot, especially after 12 years of releasing records!

"But we now feel we have the right partner for Europe in these ever-changing times to continue this crazy adventure and to scale even dizzier heights with our new record."
