Big Talk announce their second album 'Straight In No Kissin'' which will be released in July 24 via Little Oil Records and Pledgemusic.
As well as this Big Talk have also unveiled new single 'What Happened To Delisa' exclusively on Pledgemusic.
Their previous release was in 2011 and came out via Epitah Records. However for this album Big Talk - led by The Killers' Ronnie Vannucci - began thinking of ideas back in 2013. "I wanted to make something a little bit more toothy. I wanted to cut live punk rock songs, but I wanted to put something in there for the ladies as well".
"This way, there’s a nice pop sensibility, but you can tell that there are men playing, not machines. I wanted to give it some fucking strength!"

As for the recording process, the band came together in early 2014 at The Killers' Battle Born Studios in Las Vegas, and then moved to Vannucci's home studio in Sonoma County, CA to complete the album.
The first single of the eleven track album is called 'What Happened to Delisa' and, as Ronnie describes it, is "about beating yourself up over the one that got away".
The album is available to pre order now with tour dates can be expected soon. The band are also offering some impressive additional options including an acoustic show at your house (£1625), Vannucci's microphone (£2600) and perhaps most intriguingly the chance to share a bubble bath with a member of Big Talk (remarkably good value at £325).
