The Wombats are back with a brand new album, Fix Yourself, Not The World which is their fifth outing in a career spanning 18 years.

With that in mind, Radio X decided to sit frontman Matthew "Murph" Murphy and drummer Dan Haggis down together and go through their Song CV to tell us the stories behind the tunes.

In our exclusive video, you'll find out...

  • How a night out at the Korova Bar in Liverpool spawned the indie club classic Let's Dance To Joy Division
  • Why Dan isn't in the best shape in the video for Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)
  • Which film inspired the satirical Kill The Director
  • A very unusual place where Murph went on a date, which again inspired a famous Wombats song
