Electronic music pioneer Gary Numan has hit out at nostalgia bands keen on making a quick buck.

Over the past few years there's been a surge in artists getting back together or touring again, many  have failed to release any new material to their fans. 

Numan who has released around 20 albums in total, will deliver his latest instalment Dead Son Rising next month (Sept 5).

He's also collaborated with New Yorkers, Battles on one of their tracks called My Machines.
