The Primitives will release their first new music in 20 years next spring in the form of the four-track ‘Never Kill a Secret’ EP — available as a 7-inch single or digital download — designed to coincide with a just-announced March tour of the U.K.

Reformed 2 Tone-era ska act The Specials this morning announced a lengthy tour of Europe and the band’s native U.K. next fall, a trek that puts the band’s reunion well into a third year.

While it wasn’t quite as momentous as last February’s performance of ‘Somebody’ at London’s Royal Albert Hall, former Depeche Mode bandmates Alan Wilder and Martin Gore teamed once again up last night, with Gore appearing as a post-show DJ at Wilder’s Recoil performance in Santa Ana, Calif.

With The Godfathers’ 24-track live CD/DVD set ‘Shot Live at the 100 Club’ due out in less than three weeks, Secret Records Limited today posted the first clip from the June 17 concert at London’s famed 100 Club: fan favorite ‘Birth, School, Work Death,’ the title track to the reunited band’s 1988 album.
