Following bassist Mani‘s comments regarding a new album in 2015, a spokesperson for The Stone Roses has told NME magazine: “No comment.”. The Stone Roses bassist had previously said “Yeah we’ve been working on a few bits”, although when pushed for a expected date of release he did eventually concede “2015 man, 2015!”.
The band reformed to record concert sales in 2011 after originally splitting in 1996, any new album would be the band’s first since 1994’s ‘Second Coming’. The band signed deals for record distribution prior to their 2012 reunion gigs with Universal records gaining the rights to the UK and Worldwide and Columbia taking the rights for distribution in the US.
Earlier this year, at the ‘Made Of Stone’ documentary premier, guitarist John Squire coyly stated regarding a new album that “We’re working on it. It’ll be ready in about five years. We’ve got a few new songs. I can’t really tell you much about it. We won’t be playing the songs live until we’ve recorded them. We’re working on it this year.”
