Wanted: Girls To Break Snow Patrol's Heart

Snow Patrol will start writing material for their sixth album early next year, but not before frontman Gary Lightbody's heart gets broken.

The band's latest release, 2008's A Hundred Million Suns, was a departure since Lightbody wrote the tracks from the perspective of a happy relationship.

Drummer Jonny Quinn joked that the new album could see a return to their former selves.

"There’s plenty of time for Gary to be heartbroken again between now and when we start working on our new album," he told Ireland's The Independent newspaper.

Snow Patrol just wrapped up a four-night stint at Belfast's Odyssey and will play shows in Australia, South Africa and Europe before opening for U2 on some of their tour dates.
