The band benignantly played many live shows last year and seem to be hungry for more this coming season. Especially after announcing their upcoming release on the 24th February; The Singles – Volume 01, featuring singles from their three first albums Is This It (2001), Room on Fire (2003), and First Impressions of Earth (2006), as well as rare B-sides from the era, pressed on black vinyl and available to pre-order online now.
