Duran Duran To Release "Pop Trash," Embark On Tour

Duran Duran will release its first album of new material since 1997 on June 13, and soon after will embark on a summer tour of North America. The tour will begin and end with multiple-night stands at House of Blues venues, but the band's schedule will be dominated by amphitheater appearances.

The new album, titled "Pop Trash," will be the 12th of Duran Duran's career and their first release for Hollywood Records.

Duran Duran, who were one of the first bands to be launched to fame by MTV, had five members during the peak of its popularity in the early '80s. The band has undergone many line-up changes over its 20-year history, and was reduced to a three-piece with the departure of bassist John Taylor in 1996. The group now consists of singer Simon LeBon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes and guitarist Warren Cuccurullo, the same trio that recorded the band?s 1997 album "Medazzaland."

According to Hollywood Records, the first single from the new album will be "Someone Else Not Me," an acoustic song "about the freedom of letting go." The album, which was written and recorded in Cuccurullo's London home studio, will contain 12 tracks.
