The full announcement is below, and here’s the video for their new single ‘Interstate’:

THE AUTOMATIC SIGN SALES AND DISTRIBUTION DEAL
WITH EMI LABEL SERVICES

The Automatic return with their brand new single
‘Interstate’ on 7^th December 2009, marking the start of a whole new
chapter for the Cardiff-based quartet. Following a three year rollercoaster
ride which saw the release of two albums (‘Not Accepted Anywhere’ and ‘This Is A Fix’) and a string of top 40 singles, they return on their own label
(Armoured Records) with complete control, absolute vision and total honesty.

Huge new single ‘Interstate’ is as melodic and anthemic as
ever, recorded in the band’s Cardiff Studio with producer Richard Jackson, this is a song about “freedom, no stress, being away from everything and basically driving along a big long road to God knows where”. This track, like the album as a whole, finds Rob Hawkins and Paul Mullen further developing the shared lead vocal duties begun on the last
album.

The release also features artwork inspired by an abstract
painting by Rob on the sleeve.

Meanwhile, The Automatic are putting the finishing touches
to their third album. Titled ‘Tear the Signs Down’, the new album will be released through EMI Label Services in the UK and Ireland in February 2010. Before then, the band will be embarking on a twelve date UK tour to preview a host of new material (full tour dates below)

Michael Roe, Vice President EMI Label Services – Europe, said: “EMI is very
excited to be working with The Automatic. With ‘Tear the Signs Down’ they have made a great album and with the reach of EMI’s sales and distribution network behind them we’re looking forward to helping them further develop their career.”
