Alphabeat 'panicked' after losing contract

Alphabeat have revealed that they 'panicked' after leaving previous record label EMI earlier this year.

The Danish group, who release new single 'The Spell' on October 19, admitted that they now feel much happier since securing a new deal with Polydor.

"After we lost our deal with EMI, we started to panic. But then Polydor came along and are determined to help us make a success. It's nice to be working with people who believe in us," singer Stine Bramsen told Bang Showbiz.

"It's great to be back performing new material. It's been an eventful year, so we're really excited to have everything organised and be back doing what we love doing.

"We're so excited about our new album. It's great to have it finished. We've spent six months locked in a basement working on this. We didn't want to leave until we were happy with it. "

Alphabeat release new album The Spell on November 2.
