There’s been gossip for a while now that legendary Manchester band The Stone Roses are going to be dropping some new material, more than 20 years after their last studio album, Second Coming.
Earlier this week bassist Mani told a fan to keep an ear out in the coming days, causing a frenzy of internet excitement.

Well, we now seem to have official confirmation on exactly when that new music will arrive…TONIGHT.
A post to the band’s official Facebook page has revealed that they will release a new single at 8pm on Thursday (today).
There’s been a relentless clamouring for new music from fans since The Stone Roses reformed at Manchester’s Heaton Park in 2o12, and the news has already spread like wildfire on social media.
