The indie musicians are known for tracks Chicken Payback and Wash In The Rain and supported Oasis back in 2005.

They warmed up the crowd for a handful of Madness dates in 2007 as well as for Paul Weller's tour.

They also wowed the crowds at Glastonbury in 2010.

The group's last album, entitled Every Step's A Yes, was released in 2010.

It peaked at number 64 on the UK charts.

Now Paul has told music newsletter The New Cue of their comeback, and said: "I know it’s looked like The Bees disappeared off the planet a few years ago.

"I moved out to LA and got into production and it just ran out of steam, but listening back to the debut album it made me want to make music with Aaron again.

"There’s a lot going on, but The Bees are going to go out and gig again and pick what to do next, it will be like how we made Sunshine Hit Me with me and Aaron working remotely, which is how we started right at the beginning."

Recently, we reported how indie band Peace had re-formed - and also launched a brand new tour.

Peace will delight their UK-based fans with the new live dates and a re-vamped line up.

The Lovesick hitmakers - originally named November and the Criminals - formed in 2012 with their rock hits spanning until their hiatus in 2018.

Guitarist Douglas Castle and drummer Dominic Boyce have quit, leaving Harrison Koisser on lead vocals and brother Sam on bass guitar.

We recently reported how a major Nineties pop band has revealed a huge new reunion tour.
