It was fourth album, The Seldom Seen Kid, that introduced them to a wider audience thanks to hit single A Day Like This. and won them the Mercury Music Prize.

Their most recent record, Audio Vertigo, came out last year and became the band’s fourth number one.

They are currently touring in support of it and there’s good news for Scottish fans, with three gigs in Glasgow.
