00:00 - Where are we, here?

00:01 - Well, we're here.

00:02 Phil, I want to stand up.

00:03 (laughing)

00:05 - We're here.

00:06 - Yeah.

00:07 We're here to present our new single,

00:10 which is called "Angry" and the video of it,

00:13 which you'll see later.

00:15 And "Angry" is the first single from our new album.

00:18 They're called "Happy Diamonds,"

00:19 which is why we're in Hackney,

00:21 and which comes out in October the 20th.

00:23 - That's right. - So that's why we're here.

00:25 (audience cheering)

00:29 - We've been flinging ideas around the travels,

00:32 and we went from hit and run, smash and grab,

00:35 and somehow, between that,

00:38 I hope we came up with "Happy Diamonds,"

00:41 which is like a variation of the book.

00:43 And also, here's a London band.

00:45 Yeah, sure.

00:47 (audience cheering)

00:51 How long did it take to make this album?

00:54 We did it pretty quick, actually.

00:56 There were lots of ideas floating about,

00:58 and we gathered them all together

01:00 just before Christmas last year,

01:02 and made a go of it, didn't we?

01:04 - Yeah, we did it.

01:05 - Cut them all very quickly.

01:06 - 12 tracks on the album, and 10,

01:09 oh, actually, that's not true, 'cause it's not on my,

01:13 but most of it's Steve,

01:14 but two are tracks we recorded in 2019 with Charlie,

01:18 and so we used two of the tracks

01:21 that we recorded with Charlie before.

01:23 Don't wanna be big-headed,

01:24 but we wouldn't have put this album out

01:26 if we hadn't of really liked it.

01:28 I mean, we didn't wanna make just any record

01:31 and put it out, so we wanted to make a record.

01:33 Before we went in, we all said,

01:34 "We're gonna make a record."

01:35 And we really loved ourselves.

01:38 Other people may like it, other people may not.

01:41 But we must say that we are quite pleased with it.

01:45 We're not some big-headed band.

01:47 We're pleased with it, so--

01:48 - A drink to that.

01:49 - And we hope you all like it.

01:50 Yeah.

01:51 (audience cheering)

01:54 (audience applauding)
