Progress report Friendly Fires: what the hell are they up to?

Don’t worry - your favourite acts haven’t gone properly AWOL.

In our does-what-it-says-on-the-tin ‘What the hell are they up to’ feature, we dig deep to find footprints of the world’s biggest bands. They might not be giving away too much about their whereabouts, but that’s not going to stop us from putting clues together.

After digging up the dirt on The Killers (turns out they were in Las Vegas the whole while), we’re turning our attentions a little closer to home, with St Albans’ golden sons Friendly Fires.

Below, we round-up what they’ve been doing (in secret and out in the open), and what’s next for the group who found a jungle in the heart of Hertfordshire.
