I only vaguely recall this Britpop band and their hit Guiding Star but I quite like their new song, Time Bomb which is getting some airplay ahead of the release of their new album next week.

Given the amount of 90's nostalgia threads on the board this week and Blur's recent success, it seems the time is ripe for another Britpop reunion but I remember Divine Comedy tried it a couple of years back and it didn't happen for them so maybe it only works for the bigger groups.

They'll probably do well in smaller venues. I didn't realise they charted as well as they did until I looked them up on Wikipedia. They had three top 10 albums and ten straight top 20 hits which I'm sure will be enough to launch a successful tour for their fans and fans of 1990s indie/alternative music.

Just seen that their album is being released with PledgeMusic which seems to be a site for struggling artists like BandCamp. I suppose this means it's a low risk/low-key online-only release. Details of their tour are also in the link.
