Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Party Crashed
Someone decided to crash the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' party. But rather than pouting and stamping their feet, they're putting on their best party dresses. The new YYYs album It's Blitz! leaked early, so they're releasing it earlier than planned. The album will be out in digital form next week, and in physical form March 31. The band posted this note on their website, "YYYs have been brimming with nervous excitement in anticipation of releasing this record to the world! Leaks are NO FUN but it's out of our hands."
