The Automatic this week released their third studio album, titled Tear the Signs Down, and the second one to showcase Paul Mullen after the departure of Alex Pennie before the critically acclaimed album This is a Fix.

The album marks a huge sea change in the way that the band sound. Gone are the pop generation friendly lyrics and instead what the band have produced is an album that will surely generate debate not only amongst their die-hard fans but possibly to a wider audience also.

The band that became a phenomenon at the start of the summer of 2006 came back to Birmingham for the first time in a while and turned a damp British evening into a night of high energy and hot, steamy excellence.

The Automatic opened the night with the single Interstate from the recently released album Tear the Signs Down before giving the energetic crowd their first taste of the superb lyrics and frenzied guitar playing that would dominate the evening’s set list with the superb Recover and internaly angst ridden and certain journalistic bashing Magazines.
