OMG it's OMD!

McCluskey: back with OMD

They've been away for well over a decade but Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are back!

The synthpop band from Liverpool will release their 11th studio album later this month and frontman Andy McCluskey dropped by the Soccer AM studios to tell us all about it.

Having originally formed in the late '70s, the boys decided to call it a day 14 years ago and went on to pursue careers behind the music scenes.

McCluskey in particular had success with girl band Atomic Kitten who he takes responsibility for putting together, as well as Genie Queen which included Peter Crouch's other half Abbey Clancy!

Naturally Helen and Max had lots of questions for Andy about all that and more, including...

Who is the best singer he has ever worked with?

Who is the coolest musician he has ever worked with?

And finally... who was the least talented band around in the'80s!?
