The Manchester rockers with a notoriously thin catalog will break a two-decade silence on Thursday (May 12) when they release a new single.

It premiered on several British radio stations and was announced simultaneously on the band’s Twitter feed with the link to iTunes.
Another fan was a little fairer, adding: “Dunno what to make of new Stone Roses song; bit repetitive but catchy”.
It marks the band’s first new material since 1994’s Second Coming, and according to Brown, the new stuff has been sounding “like a dream”. The band embarked on reunion tours, including a headlining show at Coachella, but never released new music. The band announced the news on social media, revealing that the new track would be getting released 8 p.m. GMT (or 3 p.m. EDT).
After months of speculation, the Manchester-based rock group will drop a brand new single on Wednesday evening.
Joe Horsfall wrote: “Stone roses song is proper uplifting”.
Earlier this week a series of mysterious lemon adverts were displayed on billboards around the band’s hometown of Manchester.

In March 2016, singer Ian Brown confirmed to the NME that the reformed quartet was in the studio with Paul Epworth, who has worked with Adele, Primal Scream, Florence and the Machine and Paul McCartney. Their comeback was chronicled in 2013 documentary The Stone Roses: Made of Stone, directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Shane Meadows.
