The new MGMT disc entitled Congratulations, is now available to listen to in its entirety online. The album, which is supposed to come out April 13, leaked online so the band decided to post it on their website. MGMT are currently on a short tour of Europe, but will head back to the States to play Coachella next month. [MGMT]

The Cribs are set to reissue their self titled debut album, originally released in 2005, in a deluxe package that includes a vinyl copy. The package also comes with a bonus CD featuring some of the band’s earliest demos. Speaking about the new release frontman Ryan Jarman told NME, “I was always gutted that the first album never came out on vinyl, so I’m really glad about it now. I always felt that demo was one of the best things we’ve ever done. It’s what we sent off to Witchita that got us our record deal.” [NME]

And The Dead Weather have given a name to their forthcoming album. The band, which features Jack White and The Kills’ Alison Mossart, have named it Sea of Cowards and have said they expect it to be released soon. This album follows the bands 2009 debut, Horehound. [Gigwise]
