Equals is The Alarm's first album since 2010's Direct Action. It is a barnstorming collection of 11 songs that act as a retrenchment of old values and a poignant reflection of the tough times Mike and his wife Jules have been through in recent years. Produced by George Williams (who previously worked on 2005's Under Attack), Equals opens with a torrent of epic rock numbers such as Two Rivers and Beautiful, which see Peters singing about coming to terms with the past before moving to enjoy life to the full.

The Alarm's 40th Anniversary release, History Repeating, is a double CD featuring 44 of their biggest singles and greatest songs. Spanning all eras of The Alarm timeline, this collection brings together all of the band's "crown jewels" including a brand new and previously unreleased recording of the title track. History Repeating features all of the key tracks that have helped create The Alarm's phenomenal and loyally dedicated following.
