SUMMER SERIES: Athlete

Deptford Christian rockers, whose hugely successful second album, 'Tourist' saw them move from catchy, Squeeze-influenced, synth-assisted pop into anthemic Keaneplay territory and paved the way for their third in 2007,'Beyond The Neighourhood'. We hadn't noticed they'd gone - although they were out on their own and unsigned for 15 months - but fans holding their breath can breathe again this evening, as Athlete test drive tunes from their upcoming LP, 'Black Swan' due out on August 17.
