March 15th sees the release of the new album from Welsh rockers 'The Automatic'. Titled 'Tear Down The Signs', this, the bands third album, is the follow up to 2008's 'This Is A Fix', an album which boasted massive summer anthem 'Steve Mcqueen'.
Recorded in the band's own Cardiff studios with long time producer Richard Jackson (Future Of The Left, Super Furry Animals) over a ten month period, the album both musically and lyrically marks a massive leap away from their earlier small town roots.
