Video: The Raconteurs - "Salute Your Solution"

Last week the Raconteurs dropped the bombed that they'd be bucking all convention by releasing a new record in a week. The pessimistic among us say it's a move to combat leaks and poor reviews for a major label band that not a whole lot of cool kids care about. The optimistic among say it takes us back to the old days of actually hearing a record when it comes out and making up our own minds.

The Raconteurs To Release New Album Next Week

The Raconteurs In what appears to be a move to fight the inevitable leak months before its release, the Raconteurs have announced the surprise release of their second album, Consolers of the Lonely, on March 25th. (via Billboard)
"The purpose: to get the album to the fans as soon as possible and as we promised," the Jack White-featuring band says. "We wanted to get this record to fans, the press, radio, etc., all at the EXACT SAME TIME so that no one has an upper hand on anyone else regarding it's [sic] availability, reception or perception."

...

"We wanted to explore the idea of releasing an album everywhere at once and THEN marketing and promoting it thereafter," the band says. "The Raconteurs would rather this release not be defined by its first week sales, pre-release promotion or by someone defining it FOR YOU before you get to hear it."
No need to shout, Jack...

Featured Review

In the first few seconds of Awesome Color's second album it's apparent that the Michigan-bred Brooklyn trio's take-no-prisoners approach to pure Motor City rock and roll is more than plain homage. They're proud of their roots... - Ruben_James  [READ REVIEW]
