Bombay Bicycle Club Talk 2nd Album

Indie upstarts Bombay Bicycle Club have revealed that they don't like their name and would change it if they could.

Bombay Bicycle Club started at a young age - a really young age. Debut album 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' was released earlier this year, with the band having barely turned the legal drinking age.

Some of the material on the record was crated when the group were just fifteen, and went by the name The Canals.

Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post guitarist Jack Steadman admitted that Bombay Bicycle Club aren't particularly fond of their name. "We hated that name" he said, referring to The Canals. "Not that we like our name at the moment."

"That's what happens when you start young – then it just sticks. We are just trapped. But the Arctic Monkeys are successful."

Bombay Bicycle Club is also the name of a successful restaurant chain in London.

The guitarist also spoke about the band's second album. With debut album 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' under their belt Bombay Bicycle Club are due to begin work on the follow up soon.

"It's going to be hard to write the second album. There's only so many bands that go in different directions second time around, either for good or bad."

Steadman also claimed that the band wish to craft an EP of folk songs. "We got to do it in David Gray's studio which was really nice," Steadman said of the EP. "We always wanted to do something completely different. We all love traditional British folk music. They're not just interpretations of our rock songs. We've just got to persuade Island to release it. We will just do it ourselves if they won't."
