The Glasgow band met fans and signed copies of their latest album, The Hipsters, at the city's HMV store in Buchanan Street.

The album, released yesterday, is the band's first studio album in 11 years.

It also marks the 25th anniversary of the band's debut album, Raintown.

The band will play a special gig at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Thursday December 13.

The band added the extra gig to their tour after the first Glasgow date, on Sunday October 7, sold out in hours.

Frontman Ricky Ross said: "We're really excited and can't wait to get out on the road to let people hear the new songs as well as the favourites."
