Richard Ashcroft rehearses with new band

New photos of Richard Ashcroft in the studio rehearsing with his new band (post-United Nations of Sound) have been posted by Steve Kutner, Ashcroft's manager. Pictured is Adam Phillips (guitar), Anthony Gorry (keyboards), Steve Sidelnyk (drums), and Damon Minchella (bass), who is out of frame. In the photos, Kutner is quoted as saying "It's alive" and "Real music is coming home." No release date for the album is available yet, but it seems that the long five year wait for new material is soon coming to an end.
