Aussie garage rock band The Vines - once hailed as the hottest rock band in the world - will launch their comeback at the MTV Australia awards this month.
The band have recently completed recording their highly anticipated fourth album in Los Angeles, which is as yet untitled.
They will debut the first single from the record when they take to the stage at the awards on April 26.
The Sydney four-piece formed in the late 1990s and found international success with their debut album Highly Evolved, which debuted at number three in the UK album charts, number five in Australia, and number 11 in the US in 2001.
The Vines fell from grace after their second album, Winning Days, failed to match expectations in 2004, and Nicholls' erratic behaviour turned violent.
After abusing fans and assaulting a Sydney photographer, Nicholls was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism.
