The past four years have seen The Script
become one of the biggest, best-loved bands in the world. The trio -- Danny
O’Donoghue, Mark Sheehan and Glen Power -- have so far sold 4 Million albums and
a whopping 9 Million singles.
Despite selling millions of albums and playing in front of thousands all over the world, what is most striking about The Script is how little they've changed. In a South London studio, fizzing with excitement about their new songs, the three best friends have lost none of their passion for making music. They're still a self-sufficient unit who writes, plays and produces every song themselves. They're still perfectionists who obsess over every lyric and pour their soul into songs because they truly believe great music makes a difference.

Like The Script's meticulously-crafted and
meaningful songs, there is more to the seemingly obvious album title than first
meets the eye. Yes, ‘#3’ is their third album. But it's also the power of three--three
people, three equals--whose combined input is what makes The Script special. It
was written and recorded in Studio 3 at Battersea's Sphere Studios, home to the
band and their equipment for the first six months of 2012. And '#3' sums up the
theme of the album -- 'music for the head, heart and feet' was a mantra.
"There's a synergy to three," says
singer Danny O'Donoghue. "If you delve into it -- which we tend to do with
everything -- it's a lucky number, in the past a religious number. But the
title is mostly about us. As any geek fan of the band could tell you, we're all
extremely different people, but magic happens when you mix us together. Well,
magic or a car crash, which is how we describe the songs we scrap."
'#3' should have been The Script's most difficult album to make. After their eponymously-titled debut topped the British and Irish charts in 2008 and sold more than two million copies worldwide, its successor, 2010's 'Science and Faith', sent The Script supernova. In the States, it entered the charts at No.3, spawned a huge radio hit in 'For The First Time' and saw the band move up to arenas. In South Africa, they found themselves playing to crowds of 18,000; tours of Australia were extended across Asia. As guitarist Mark Sheehan says, "Success was ours to lose."

Immediately obvious was that '#3' would see
a return to the rhythmic, hip-hop and R&B-influenced sound of their debut.
But it had to be organic, to rely on real instruments, rather than the
synthesized sounds so prevalent in today's pop. The Script looked to the live
hip-hop bands they loved growing up, such as A Tribe Called Quest, for
inspiration.
As ever, Danny and Mark struggled with the lyrics, staring them down and mixing them round -- Mark likens the process to completing a Rubik's Cube -- until they conveyed the exact emotions they had in mind. The trio agrees that, lyrically, '#3' is by far their best album to date -- more personal, more emotional and much more optimistic. The message -- music for the head, heart and feet -- is self-belief, soldering on and achieving your dreams.
