The band will be back in the studio in 2011...

Speaking to Xfm backstage at Xfm's Winter Wonderland Barry from the band told us their plans for next year:

"We're gonna record an Acappella album next year and the plans is to record two albums next year, an acapella album and a full on album and release them at the same time."

It's been a busy year for the band who did around 100 shows including Eastern Europe, an American tour and loads of festival including Leeds and Reading.

Barry says it goes in circles:

"The sun disappears and suddenly you're completely ready for a little bit of rest and then starting again, getting that energy back and spending it again and so on - forever."

He also told us he's going to write the music for a short film in the new year about two girl who get pregnant.

The band are playing their ten year anniversary gig 'Futurefest 2' in Newcastle on December 23.

Their Christmas single 'Christmas Was Better in the 80s' comes out December 19.
