Placebo have decided to come to light again and confirmed the release of their new studio album for June 2009 that will probably be followed by several concerts.
The alternative rock band formed in London in 1994 and consisting of Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Forrest, released their last album, ‘Meds‘ in 2006, and the forthcoming currently untitled LP - their sixth studio album to date - is their first recorded with the new drummer, Steve Forrest. David Bottrill was drafted in as producer. The follow-up to 2006’s ‘Meds’ was produced by David Bottrill, who worked his magic on Muse’s ‘Origin Of Symmetry’ and Silverchair’s ‘Diorama’, and is the first to feature new drummer Steve Forrest.
The group, who have sold over one million albums in the UK and over 8 million worldwide, have signed with European entertainment group [PIAS] for the release. And, according to angryape.com, frontman Brian Molko revealed he was flattered to be chased by so many labels: “We now feel we have the right partner for Europe in these ever-changing times to continue this crazy adventure and to scale even dizzier heights with our new record.”
He also said in a statement: “We were very lucky to have so many great labels interested in signing us, it means a lot, especially after 12 years of releasing records.”
Placebo has released five studio albums, six EPs and twenty-seven singles. The band has gained a considerable amount of international recognition, including non-English speaking countries. Thus far, Placebo is best known for songs such as: Nancy Boy, Pure Morning, You Don’t Care About Us, Every You Every Me, The Bitter End, Twenty Years, Because I Want You, Infra-Red and a cover of the Kate Bush song Running Up That Hill.

You’re mixing plural and singular within the article. Besides that, it’s good.
