INDIE rock band The Zutons have reunited for their first album in 16 years.
The group was first formed in 2001 in Liverpool with guitarist Dave McCabe, saxaphone Abi Harding and drummer Sean Payne.
They released their debut album, Who Killed…… The Zutons? in May 2004 and achieved UK chart success with Why Won’t You Give Me Your Love? and Valerie, with the latter track covered by Mark Ronson, with lead vocals provided by Amy Winehouse in 2007.
In 2009 the band quietly split just months after releasing their third album, You Can Do Anything.
The group reunited back in 2016 and again in 2019 to commemorate and perform their debut album.
Now die-hard fans will be delighted to know that the trio will be returning to the stage with their new album The Big Decider.

They are also set to tour once again in the new year.
