Speaking about the new material and answering critics to his dark songs, songwriter and front man Mark Eitzel has said: “I don’t intend to make songs dark or difficult. I want to make the best f*cked up pop songs out there.”

American Music Club have gained two new members, Eitzel and guitarist Vudi remain from the old formation. Newcomers are bassist Sean Hoffman and former The Lark’s drummer Steve Didelot.

AMC last played the UK, at London’s South Bank in 2004.
