Alphabeat checked in with fans on their blog at MySpace on Friday (August 21), talking about their second album and its first single. The Danish pop group write:

We’re finally out of the studio, and really happy to be able to tell you that our second album is coming out on October the 19th! It’s called ‘The Spell’ and we’re really really excited about putting it out there and can’t wait for you all to hear it.

The first single is also called ‘The Spell’ (one to dance to!!) and it’s out on October the 12th. Some of our other fave tracks from the new record are ‘DJ’, ‘Heart Failure’ and ‘Chess’, and we hope you’ll like them as much as we do!

Alphabeat updated fans on their blog at MySpace on Thursday (April 9), reacting to their official web site being hacked. The Danish pop band write:

And no … Our myspace has not been hacked … This blog is actually written in pure boredom ! How could that happen? Boredom in Alphabeat … Weeeeell … We get bored too. It’s as simple as that … !
Yesterday people thought our myspace was hacked too because of us making a headline going: “Who the hell are the people in our Top Friends” …
You could think: “Oh My GOD ! Alphabeat’s myspace has been hacked and someone have changed their very pretty and nice Top Friends to pornstars or worse: sh**ty hardcore heavy bands (Who think they are hardcore)…
The truth is that our thisisalphabeat.com page was hacked the other day. Some guy from Turkey thought it would be fun to put his face and some weird music on it … Well … It was kinda fun … But anyway. We’re going to change that site anyway so changes will happen on thisisalphabeat.com sooooooon !

Today we’ve come up with few interesting clips we found on a very underground, street and unknown site on the world wide web called YOUTUBE (Check out that site … It’s going to be huge !!!!)… The clips have got nothing to do with us actually … But they are a result of pure boredom ! … Nothing less … Nothing more …

Alphabeat updated fans on their blog at MySpace on Monday (January 19), responding to reports that they had been dropped by their record label. The Danish pop band tell readers:

How are you all? We hope you’ve all got off with a good start in this new year of 2000 and 9??!

You may have read rumors about us being dropped by EMI on several blogs in the last couple of weeks. Have we been dropped? Nope … But before X-Mas we had the opportunity to leave – and we did.

We (this means us – Alphabeat) sat down round a table before we went on X-Mas holiday and decided that we needed a change before starting recording our new album … and one of the major changes would be a new label!

We’re back in the UK and we’re happy to say that we’re signing with a new label as we speak…
