Babyshambles bass player Drew McConnell has revealed that he has recorded several songs with Albert Hammond Jr of the Strokes.

The tracks also feature the Mercury Prize nominated talent of Fionn Regan and McConnell says they could be released soon.

He told the BBC: "I did four tracks a couple of months back with Albert Hammond Jr from The Strokes and Fionn Regan.

"I've had a few labels talking to me about the possibility of releasing it. We all needed it, Albert had been on tour with his solo thing and he was a little tired.

"It was good for everyone to get in the studio for a few days and have some beers and make some good music.

"Not worrying if a label was going to be happy with it or whether an A&R man was gonna check if the chorus came in, in the first 40 seconds."
