Oxford’s pop scoundrels Secret Rivals are to follow up their mini-album Make Do And Mend, which was released late last year on It’s All Happening Records, with a consistently-named new EP.

‘Make Do And Mend (Part 2)’ will be released in May, and contains the track ‘Once More With Heart’ – recently given airplay via the Sky Sports Soccer AM TV programme, through NME TV and on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6music – along with four more songs. Here’s the track listing:

• ‘The Part That Kills’
• ‘Once More With Heart’
• ‘I Hope She Knows’
• ‘I Know Something’
• ‘Make Do And Mend (Part 2)’
