Tings Tings - Hands

the due long awaited album was due for release late this February. But has been leaked online a month in advance. 

 Jules de Martino of the duo has said: "We should be pissed & outraged but what good would it do? Some selfish idiot who had the music early just couldn't help themselves." He is now calling for the band's record label Columbia to pull the album's release date forwards, saying "come on Columbia, let it go!!!"
