After five years of inactivity within the band and the band reconvened, the three old friends came to a realisation of the fact of how much they have missed everything during their time as a band, the rush of the sight of an audience’s reaction to their performances, the thought of staying close together and a simple jam idea evolving into a song within a second.
Their connection gathered place in Granada Spain as they focused on new material with the Grammy Award winning producer, Youth (The Verve, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Charlatans). This resulted in their latest upcoming album, Exorcism Of Youth and it weaves natural-sounding sonic elements into their renowned rock ‘n’ roll feel in the album. Their first new track in 8 years, “Just Like”, gained attention from Jo Whiley at Radio 2 and received a very positive reaction. This was also followed by being named Track of the Week at Amazing Radio. The return of The View continued to gain traction with the follow-up of their song in the album, “Neon Lights”.
