Nine months on from the release of their critically-acclaimed second album 'At The Still Point', DIY champions Ten City Nation are set to return with a string of live dates ahead of the release of a new album and EP.
Following a relentless two years of activity, which saw the band self-release two albums, blag supports and tours with Future Of The Left, We Start Fires, Ipso Facto and Blood Red Shoes plus festival slots at Offset and Weyfest, as well as gathering support from DJs and respectable types the World over - including Steve Lamacq, XFM's John Kennedy, BBC Introducing, Dischord Records/Fugazi's Ian Mackaye and the SuicideGirls, who used the song "TDK 90" in their new DVD 'SuicideGirls: Guide To Living' - Ten City Nation took six months off at the end of 2009 to write and record their third album, and get some sleep.
Full details of the new album and EP, which were recorded at Monkey Puzzle House in Suffolk with producer Tom Peters (The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band), are yet to be confirmed, but some live dates have been announced with a full tour of the UK and Germany expected later in the year.

"A relentless journey through thundering alternative rock... Ten City Nation could be on to something here." - Artrocker on 'At The Still Point'
