The Strokes are aiming to release their much-anticipated new album in September, drummer Fab Moretti has said.

The group, whose last album 'First Impressions Of Earth' was released in 2006, are currently working on the follow-up in New York.

In an interview with the BBC, Moretti said he and his former bandmates were enjoying being back in the studio together.

"We've been recording a bunch - basic tracks are done. Now we're just running around like kids in a candy shop,” the drummer told the BBC.

"Coming back in and writing music was kind of like riding a bicycle."

Moretti added that recording sessions were “pretty much a free for all”.

He also said the group planned to begin rehearsing their old material soon in preparation for their headlining slots at the Isle of Wight and Rockness festivals in June.

"I'm nervous as hell. It's giving me butterflies in my stomach,” he said.

”To be honest I haven't really been thinking about the old songs as we're so into recording these new ones.

"It's less the songs themselves and more the response from the band that I miss terribly. I'm excited."

  • Who cares? The Strokes are a bunch of rich, charisma free punks with one of the worst lead singers of all time. I'm sick of all the praise Is This It got, you can't make punk records if you're the children of models, producers, and fashion designers.
