From Wikipedia: "They announced in Mid-October [2011] that they have started writing and recording new material, and hope the new album will launch in Spring 2012." There's videos of their new songs on their MySpace.

Up in the Attic doesn't even have a tenth of the amount of plays Anthology has. It is such an unappreciated album.

I really don't like their MJ cover. It gives them a bad name really. All of their original material is fantastic yet people put them aside because they've only heard Smooth Criminal.
