A newly revealed cassette recording of The Smiths rehearsing in a Manchester warehouse in May 1983 prior to signing their first record deal has surfaced online in what the band’s drummer today called “an early recording you’ve probably never heard before.”

The Dead Milkmen have released the third in their new series of limited-edition 7-inch singles — “The Boston Molasses Flood” — and you can now stream both songs off the vinyl single plus the digital-only bonus track. Below, check out the two songs off the 7-inch plus digital-only bonus track “Anthropology Days.”

Phoenix returns next month with their fifth studio album Bankrupt!, and they’ve just released what they’re billing as a “remix” of lead single “Entertainment” by none other than Dinosaur Jr. But it’s actually a straight-up cover of what had been a fairly upbeat, poppy number.

Following live previews of some of the album’s songs last week and a leak of the full record on Sunday, Depeche Mode is now streaming its forthcoming LP Delta Machine, for free on iTunes one full week ahead of its release. The record’s out in North America next Tuesday, but check it out now.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark continue the build-up toward the April 9 release of their second post-reunion album ‘English Electric,’ releasing another new track, “Night Café,” and announcing plans for a limited-edition, five-track 10-inch vinyl picture disc to be released on Record Store Day.

“Soothe My Soul,” the anticipated second single from Depeche Mode’s upcoming album Delta Machine, was given a world-premiere airing this morning in the U.K. on Shaun Keaveny’s show on BBC Radio 6 — and, not surprisingly, DM fans were ready to record the track. You can hear it right here.
