The Stone Roses are set to release a brand new studio album next year, according to English newspapers this morning. 

The Manchester group, who originally split up in 1996, reunited last year and have taken part in global reunion tour this year, including Phoenix Park and a number of festival headline slots

When the band reunited they signed a new two-album deal with Universal Records, but have played no new material in their live sets yet. However, according to The Sun, they will release a brand new album next year.

A source told the paper: "John [Squire] and Ian [Brown] have been sending each other ideas for over a year now. During rehearsals they have tried some new songs and really felt that the old magic was still there with the songwriting. They have decided they will give it another spin with new music next year."
