The Wombats have spent the summer focused on writing new material for their upcoming third album which will be the follow-up to ‘The Wombats present… This Modern Glitch’ which peaked at #3 when it was released in 2011 and featured some of their most popular singles to date in the shape of ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’, ‘Jump Into The Fog’ (a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock chart) and ‘Techno Fan’.
As a first taster of what to expect, the trio will release the brand new track ‘Your Body Is A Weapon’ on October 2nd on 14th Floor Records. The track was produced by Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Taking Back Sunday) at Barefoot Studios in Los Angeles.

The Wombats will follow the release of the track by heading to Los Angeles to embark upon the recording of the new album. The band are also confirmed to play two dates in Brazil at the end of September, as well as joining The Falls Music and Arts Festival which tours Australia over the New Year period.
‘This Modern Glitch’ saw The Wombats make huge strides forward. In addition to their highest UK chart position, the album also peaked at #2 in Australia and hit the Top 20 in bassist Tord Øverland-Knudsen’s homeland of Norway, as well as Germany and Holland.
