SNOW PATROL’s drummer Jonny Quinn has spoken about their new album.

The title of the follow-up to 2006’s Eyes Open has been revealed as One Hundred Million Suns and Jonny said: “We were in the same studios in Berlin where U2 recorded Achtung Baby.

“It’s still very much melody based, but it’s different too in ways from the other albums.

“It’s hard to know what everyone will make of it but we’re happy. I’d go as far as to say I think it’s our best album.”

The group also want to start touring their sound live as soon as possible.

Jonny added: “The new album should be out some time later this year, maybe October.

“We certainly want to get home to play a gig for everyone next year but we’ll probably play a few smaller ones, with any luck, before Christmas.”
