The Automatic Automatic

Then the band toured trotted the globe, Hasselhoff shrine safely installed in the back of the tour bus, while back in blighty, 'Not Accepted Anywhere' continued to spawn daytime radio-conquering singles, the band won a Vodaphone Live Awrard and were nominated for a Kerrang Award, while Rob, Pennie, Iwan and Frost graced magazine covers across the nation.

Now, having recently completed another sweaty, bouncy, victory lap of a tour, selling out their biggest headline shows to date, The Automatic are now preparing to launch into 2007 with the sublime new single 'Recover'. And with 'Not Accepted Anywhere' now certified gold, having clocked up close to 200,000 sales, The Automatic's joint gap year is starting to look like a very smart idea indeed.
