When Manchester trio The Answering Machine introduced themselves in 2006 with the indie-disco favourite Oklahoma, they were young, carefree and impressionable, enjoying being the toast of the city. Back then the band were a fresh-faced trio, armed solely with a canon of jittery, indie-pop tunes.

But that was three years ago. Since then, they've done a lot of growing up and their beats per minute have doubled with the addition of new recruit Ben Perry on drums - placed alongside long-standing drum-machine favourite, 'Mustafa Beat'.

To produce their debut album, Another City, Another Sorry, the band locked themselves up in a remote North Yorkshire studio with Manic Street Preachers producer Dave Eringa. The album plots the path from campus parties to youthful realisation, the steps in-between and ultimately what comes next.
