New U2 club album

The September issue of Rolling Stone magazine has an interview with U2 lead singer and frontman Bono. It appears the band is making up for lost time and working on not one, not two, but four different projects.

Bono’s emergency back surgery in May forced the band to cancel their North American tour and put other projects on hold. Now he is back on his feet, fit as ever and raring to go.

U2 is working on a "club-sounding album" and also plan to release a rock album. Then there’s Songs of Ascent, a set of tracks from the recording session of 2009’s No Line on the Horizon. As if that wasn’t enough, Bono and guitarist The Edge are writing the score for the upcoming Spider-Man musical.

U2 are presently on tour in Europe. They resumed the 360° tour on August 6 in Turin, Italy. Fans camped outside the stadium there got a treat when they heard the band rehearsing an unreleased song.
