Skyfall opens in UK cinemas in a couple of weeks, with Adele having been widely reported as the artist charged with delivering the latest theme tune. However, was she the only artist to be considered for the job?
The Guardian has released a first listen of the British three-piece’s new album The 2nd Law online last night , and first track Supremacy sounds like a Bond theme in every sense of the term.

Drummer Dominic Howard has previously been quoted as saying the band would be up for the challenge. “Certainly some of our music fits with the James Bond vibe,” he said. “I think it could work. It's something we'd probably say yes to, or at least give it a good go.”
