It’s been a long time between drinks for Brisbane’s The John Steel Singers. There had been whispers, nay legends, surrounding the quintet’s blessed return; a make-shift studio on the Sunshine Coast, late night dazed recording sessions and the courageous rescue of an abandoned organ.

It seemed a new musical offering was on the cards. Now, the jubilant 'Singers confirm a sophomore release in 2013, unveiling a sneak peak of what's to come with track 'State Of Unrest' - markingthe band's first musical utterings since 2010.

What's more, The John Steel Singers will be taking their latest wares on the road, with a handful of East Coast shows in September to coincide with their performance at industry conference BIGSOUND.

'State of Unrest' brings with it an audio/visual sensory delight with the video appearing on Youtube this morning. Watch it here: http://youtu.be/gqanG5qPCiE. Street track, teaser; call it what you will, but one thing's for sure - The John Steel Singers are back and fans best keep their collective ears to the ground, with the album's first official single set for release in the coming weeks.
