Beatsteaks Reveal Details Of New Album 'Boom Box' - Out May 16th

Already a huge hit in Germany where it knocked Adele off the top of the album charts, the Beatsteaks’ new album ‘Boom Box’ looks set to make their biggest impact yet on these shores when it’s released on May 16th onWarner Bros. Records.

‘Boom Box’ sees the Beatsteaks seeking out new borders to their sound with songs such as ‘CheapComments’, ‘Fix It’, ‘Access Adrenalin’ and ‘Automatic’ contributing to a diverse album that offers everything from the reggae-rock of ‘Let's See’ to the 72-second punk rock inferno ‘Behavior’. The album was produced byMoses Schneider at the band’s rehearsal studio and was mixed by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire) at the Seedy Underbelly Studio in Los Angeles.
