U2, u like? Nu album!
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver March 30th, 2007

Like rock music? Then we bet you'll like U2. These old hands at all things rock are working hard on a new album. You're gonna love it!

Recently knighted (but not really) singer Bono - a charismatic frontman with neat sunglasses - has left the talking about the band's new album to his enigmatic guitarist, The Edge. Yeah.

Said The Edge to Rolling Stone:

"We're working on new songs and getting lost in the music. I don't think we're going to try and think too much about what we're going to do with it yet, we're just going to do a lot of writing and just see what gives.

"We're giving ourselves the luxury of just working on the songs. There's some amazing things coming through."

The Irish rockers are working with the acclaimed Rick Rubin, who made Johnny Cash relevant even after he was under a pile of dirt. Good on you, Rick. Way to show those alive people how to sell records.

U2 have a MySpace, which means they're emo, really. It's here.
