Rock band the HIATUS will release their second, currently untitled album on June 30th.

Despite being a relatively new rock band, the HIATUS have established themselves a solid fanbase due to their affiliation with several notable rock musicians including Hosomi Takeshi (ex.ELLEGARDEN) and members from other bands including Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Radio Caroline and FULLSCRATCH. The album will follow in the footsteps of the band's previously released album Trash We'd Love which was unveiled in May 2009. Trash We'd Love peaked at #1 on the Oricon and was shortly followed by a 21 date tour which completely sold out due to heightened popularity from eager rock music fans.

The album will be issued in CD format and the band have also revealed that the upcoming album (and their debut album) will also be made available in limited edition LPs. Further details of the album are expected to be updated via the HIATUS' official website in the coming weeks. Following the release of the album, the HIATUS will embark on a national tour from July to October which will consist of 35 performances. The tour, simply entitled "TOUR 2010", will begin on July 2nd at Chiba LOOK and conclude on October 5th at Hiroshima CLUB QUATTRO.
