Stars announce tour & release new album early!!

Canadian indie-popsters Stars, in an attempt to foil those damn music pirates, digitally released their newest album "In Our Bedroom After the War" yesterday. The album was supposed to come out on Sept. 25 (the physical album's release is still 9/25). They're hoping that given the choice to download the album legally, that fans will do the right thing. I did, and it felt real good. They also announced their fall tour dates which you can check out below.

Buy the digital version of "In Our Bedroom After the War" from iTunes, or from the Arts & Crafts website.
