Shihad are gearing up for the release of their ninth album, but they've found time to record a song with aussie rocker Jimmy Barnes.
Toogood and the boys have recorded a version of Barnes' metallic-tinged 1999 song Love and Hate as part of his upcoming hits compilation 30:30 Hindsight.
The
40-track album features 17 new recordings of some of Barnes' biggest hits recreated with other acts, like Keith Urban, The Living End, Babyshambles, Journey and Steven Van Zandt.
As Barnes puts it: "We've actually kicked some new life into the songs. I think when people hear this new record, they will get a sense that these are very modern takes on these songs. They sound fresh and they sound new and they sound alive."
Shihad's FVEY is due out on August 8, while Barnes' 30:30 Hindsight is available from August 29.
