The Rumble Strips have just posted the second instalment in the series of short films made during the recording of their as yet untitled new album on The Rumble Strips Official site, news, blogs, live dates, videos, MP3s, photos. The video features Mark Ronson giving Matty Wheeler a drum lesson, as well as some footage of Henry singing Tease Me by Chaka Demus and Pliers, and a sneak peek at brand new track 'Douglas'.
The Rumble Strips return with a 21 date UK tour this March to precede their as yet untitled second album. This is the band’s first headline tour since the Girls and Weather album tour of Autumn 2007 and they are looking forward to getting up close and personal with their UK fans again. Supports for the tour will be Wet Paint and Eugene McGuiness.
