The Prodigy Go Punk

Breakbeat hardcore heroes turned electro-rock giants The Prodigy are definitely releasing their long-awaited new album this year, with a distinct new musical direction, Prodigy mainman Liam Howlett revealed this week.

"The tracks I've done sound like me, they sound like The Prodigy, but they kind of have... they are punk in attitude," the multi-millionaire songwriter told fan site Nekozine.co.uk.

"The music is well on its way, tracks are finished and we've got our deadline now and that's the one we're going to deliver on," he added.

Howlett's comments marked a change in attitude from when the band promoted their last new single Baby's Got a Temper in the summer of 2002, when he launched an angry attack on the rock scene.

"I just think the Nu Metal scene's a load of guys in costume with spiky hair playing punk,' he told Mixmag.
