Beastie Boys Name New Album

The Beastie Boys have given a name to their eighth studio album. The band decided to go with Hot Sauce Committee instead of with the working title Tadlock's Glasses. There is no word yet on when the album will be released, but some websites have reported a scheduled release of December 29, 2009 might be possible. This will be the band's first album with vocals since 2004's To the 5 Boroughs.

"It's a lot of vocals – very wordy," said Ad-Rock. "It's political, depending on what you call political. You know, if toilet talk and fart jokes are political, which they can be, in that sense yeah, very."

Below is a video of the Beastie Boys performing the classic So What'cha Want with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon on May 25th, 2009.

Killswitch Engage Announce Album Details

Killswitch Engage has given away information about their upcoming album. The band's fourth album will be self-titled due to the guys not being able to agree on a title. “When we all couldn’t agree on an album title, someone suggested we just keep it self-titled and we all pretty much agreed. (It) gives it the feeling of a fresh new beginning,” vocalist Howard Jones said. The album, produced by Brendan O'Brien (Rage Against the Machine) and co-produced by guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, will hit stores on June 30th. The album art can be seen here.

Killswitch will be spending the summer on the road playing the main stage of Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. The only Canadian show will be in Toronto on July 28th. All dates can be found here.
