SHOCK PLACEBO RELEASE

As we mentioned briefly last month, Australian independent music label Shock Records has scored a major coup, signing local distribution rights to the latest album from alternative British outfit Placebo. It will mark the outfit’s first album release since leaving long time record company Virgin Records in 2006. The album, the band’s sixth, is titled ‘Battle For The Sun’ and is set to be released in Australia on June 5 while the first single from it, the album’s title track, will receive it’s exclusive first play on BBC’s Radio 1 at 7pm GMT later today/early tomorrow morning AEDT. Excitement surrounding the release is already building, with the official presser crowing, “Placebo’s sixth album is a startling, alive, vital and boundary-vaulting record that marks a whole new era for a band that were in need of a change.” We patiently await it’s release.
