Glasvegas are set to begin work on their second album next summer.

Despite singer James Allan suggesting the band might take their time, possibly even years, over a follow-up to their eponymous debut, bassist Rab Allan says they're planning to hit the studio a lot sooner than that.

"Summer is most likely," Rab Allan told Planet Sound. "James likes to throw curveballs - maybe it'll be years before we make a new record. But he reckons he'll have enough songs written by next summer."

The bassist added: "James has got two new songs he's happy with, but they aren't ready enough to play live just yet.

"James played one of the songs to the rest of the band for the first time a fortnight ago. It's amazing; absolutely beautiful, considering it's such a simple song."

Glasvegas have done well; shame they have turned their backs on the fans that helped them get where they are today. There was a blog in Scotland that had one of its' interviews taken down for posting demos that the band had previously made available. Glasvegas knew about it, but decided not to comment. As for the repackaging of their debut album with these christmas songs...very clever ploy folks; are you hoping to have six entries in the Christmas chart? for working class folks from Glasgow you have sold out utterly!
