Scouting For Girls has announced on their official website [9] that their 4th album is out on 13 October with the lead single called Dancing in the Daylight. The name was a wordplay similar to the band's name and was partly based on the Dennis the Menace fan club. Members of the fanclub were called Wolfcubs, and received a welcome pack put together by the band which include a CD of recent demos, a membership card which allowed discounted entry to their gigs, a regular SFG newsletter similar to the famous Scouting For Boys guide book , and badges.

When the band signed their record deal, they carried on producing the membership packs for new fans on the road, until the demand became too high to deal with. However, the Wolfcubs still exist in reference to the band's fans. In the band announced that a limited edition run of wolfcub packs to celebrate their Tenth Anniversary. In both the band an audience were trapped overnight in the pub after a snow storm blocked roads down from the venue.

In , to celebrate their Tenth Anniversary, the band are undertaking 10 challenges to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It was just about being in a band, you know? It was all about getting together after school and rehearsing in garages and that. There aren't many bands like that around now, a lot of bands now get together from music college, so we're really proud of that old school credential. When you started out were there any bands in particular that you looked up to and aimed to be where they were?

I don't think we ever thought we'd even get a record deal! When we were young we did - when we were at school there were loads of Britpop bands who I loved, like Blur and Oasis. I also loved R. M and the Stone Roses. I don't think we ever particularly looked up to them in a career way, we honestly just wanted to be in a band.

We just wanted to play shows and travel the world, that was the plan. We never expected this, we never expected to be doing a ten year anniversary. I imagine when you started out you never expected to be selling over 1. Was it taken within your strides or was it a difficult transition at all?

Oh, we absolutely loved it. I'm not going to lie, it was a lot of fun. We were in our mid-twenties, we'd all been to university and had proper jobs for about four or five years. Trying to make it as a musician, working part time and scrimping and saving to put anything towards the band - we did think that it was never going to happen. But then it did happen.

It was literally like all of our dreams had come true and I think we just did our best to enjoy it as much as possible. We really appreciated it and I think we still do. It's been ten years since your self-titled debut, what's changed for you personally over that decade? My whole life has changed!

It's funny because that album was so big, and when a record is so big it does impact other people's lives. So people can remember where they were and because it's been around for so long now, it still pops up now and again. People have shared important landmarks with our music and so it's amazing to have that connection with people. That's why this tour - it's only just gone on sale and it's selling really well. People feel connected to the music, it's pretty special for me, an escaped, second hand and desperate musician. Now I've got a family and a house, and I take the kids to school, that's my life now.

Where there any specific visions for this album? Did they come off? This is the thing, there was no massive thought process behind writing the songs. They were just songs that made people happy, we'd play our local pub and everybody had a great time! There was no thought process at all about selling records, we just wrote the music we loved. It was a bit cheeky and a bit silly and it entertained our mates every Saturday night of the month.

That was as far as it went. Then we went and recorded it, the main thing I wanted was to keep it very stripped back and very indie - so it was just piano and all about the vocals and harmonies. Lyrically it was a little bit silly, it was nostalgic in that it looked back at childhood, quite light-hearted really. You've mentioned that now you have a family, how do your children react to your music? Some kids revel in their parents being in a band and others are really embarrassed by it.

Oh, they love it. He plays the drums. He's completely in love with it, he'll come to soundcheck and he'll come and watch us play and he's obsessed. He's not too interested in practising music but he just loves getting on stage and playing.

It's more about being in a band and doing his hair - he loves doing his hair at the moment. Well, you've got to have the full package, maybe in ten years time, he'll be in a successful band. I think he will, I mean he's in a band already. He's in the Heart Terrors - he came up with that name himself, by the way.

He's just completely obsessed with it even though it's not something I encourage at all! They've got a couple of songs and honestly, the song titles are just incredible - I can't remember what they are but they're so good. At the moment I work from home, I have a studio in the barn next to the house, I have a lot of artists that come to work with me and they stay over.

So he comes home from school and there's his dad working with some cool people and he loves it! As far as the singles on this album go, I read that your label didn't want you to put 'This Ain't a Love Song' out as a single, why was this? They just didn't think it was a hit. I gave them a CD of all the demos of all the songs, that single was our follow up.
