Dirty Pretty Things have started work on their second album, with 15 tracks already penned.
Guitarist Anthony Rossomando says the band are striving not to create an over-indulgent second album that so many bands do (take note Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight).
He said: "We're not interested in making some archetypal self-indulgent second album.
“Every band feels pressure for their second album because it's supposed to be an elevation from the first one, but we've seen a lot of second albums come out over the past year and most of them aren't really about anything, they're just about trying really hard to write hits.”
He continued to the NME: “We'd like to be able to do what Nirvana did which was to write songs that were popular but also have integrity. So we're trying to do that I guess.
“Everything's got to happen naturally, if it doesn't it's just bullshit and people will see through it. We're not concerned with being massive we just want to be integral."
