Fronted by charismatic singer Rick Witter, Shed Seven were a '90s era UK band whose debut album was just in time for Britpop. The band scored a number of hits over there, including "Getting Better," "Going for Gold," "Dolphin," and "Speakeasy." (The band didn't make a dent in the U.S but were, strangely, huge in Thailand.) Shed Seven called it quits in 2003 but then reformed in 2007 and have been playing sporadic shows since. Ten years into their return, they're finally getting around to making a new album, which will be their first since 2001's Truth Be Told. It is set for late this year and you can preorder through Pledgemusic.

Shed Seven will also be on tour this fall, including dates in North America. They'll play NYC at Rough Trade on October 18 . Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, August 18 at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (8/16) at noon.

UPDATE: Shed Seven's tour has been postponed till 2018:

We wanted to say hi to you guys in Toronto, New York, and California. We never make these decisions lightly, so hope you understand our sincerest apologies in rescheduling our forthcoming performances. The shows will now be going ahead on the following dates, with all original tickets being valid for entry. If you're unable to join the new dates then of course a refund will be available. We'll see you then and thank you for your support and understanding.

The new Rough Trade date is March 5. Tickets are on sale. Shed Seven will soon be on a UK tour with fellow Britpoppers CAST. All tour dates are listed below.

UPDATE #2: Canceled.
