Rock super-group Them Crooked Vultures have today leaked their own album on the internet in an attempt to beat the fraudsters to the punch.

The hotly-anticipated eponymous debut album (try saying that after a few!) from the trio (Dave Grohl - Foos, Josh Homme - QotSA and John Paul Jones - Led Zep) is released on 16th November (watch this space for a review) and is available to pre-order from their official site www.themcrookedvultures.com

The record-buying public are spoilt for choice this year for super-group albums, with Chickenfoot's debut eponymous album being released just yesterday. Chickenfoot are: Van Halen's Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, guitar supremo Joe Satriani and the Chili Peppers' Chad Smith (who also released his debut album recently 'Meat the Meatbats').

Them Crooked Vultures' album will feature thirteen tracks, and can be previewed on their official YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/themcrookedvultures . The band are set to return to the UK next month - a tour which sold-out in days following their successful surprise Reading and Leeds festival live UK debuts earlier this year.
