Faith No More to release new material for Record Store Day

Organisers of Record Store Day,which takes place this year on 16 April, have let it slip that the recently reunited Faith No More will be releasing new material as an exclusive record day release.

The band will be releasing a double A-sided 7″ inch vinyl single featuring covers of Serge Gainsbourg’s 1968 classic Poisson Avril and the recent Martin Solveig dance smash Hello.

The record will be exclusively available on vinyl from independent record stores on 16 April only and it is a very limited edition. Find your nearest store here.

Also, in an industry first, the physical record will be available as a download from the fnm.com website on the day only. Fans will be able to download the record and print the vinyl using 3d printing technology.

The two tracks were recorded in March in San Francisco during the studio sessions for the band’s forthcoming as yet untitled new album. Band sources suggest that the record will be released independently in the autumn, with the release accompanied by a 30-date US arena tour.

Wait a minute. Mort??? When did you get back????
Bobby B Better April 4, 2011 at 10:22 pm

Nice try but we were expecting it this year. Two years in a row was just too much to hope for. Well, at least we’re all still here talking, waiting, hoping…
Edward April 4, 2011 at 2:52 pm

Fuck you for this man. I come to this site for news and updates on my favorite band, not to be bullshitted with. There are some things you just don’t joke about. FNM is one of those things.
grant April 4, 2011 at 11:56 am

Well said, Mike….

You know, Faith No More did the reunion tour their way, controlling all info, images, and expectations on their terms (One of my favorites aspects of the reunion)

While I don’t personally think they will release a new album, I think that if they WERE to, it would be along the lines of what Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails did with their latest releases….I think one day, there would just be a link on FNM.COM that says “By the way…here’s our new album”

And we wouldn’t have heard a thing about it before it just suddenly showed up…

At least that’s my opinion…I mean, this is a band that, at their possibly last show, did what I had always dreamed of them doing….they opened with Epic and got it out of the way right off the bat.
Rob April 4, 2011 at 11:27 am

Very funny except you fail to think about the little guy.
You know – the poor record store clerk who ends up taking a beating
from angry FNM fans on the 16th. “Dude THERE IS a Faith No More
record coming out today- I saw it on the internets!!!!” BANG – POW
– SMASH???!?##&**???!!!
leroydragon April 3, 2011 at 8:51 pm

fuck you
Mike April 3, 2011 at 2:40 pm

Very well crafted.

It starts off with something plausible, you have a link to a real website and event that most people are familiar with, and then it slowly builds in absurdity from there, playing on some of our hopes and fears along the way.

Lot of crappy internet April Fools jokes this year but I though this was pretty well done.
Integra April 2, 2011 at 8:28 pm

Maybe this is all one big trick within a trick?

FNM want everyone to believe this is an april fools joke and and they will have us all 100% convinced that there will never be a new album, but just when they have fooled everyone…They release a new album!
Ti Mort April 2, 2011 at 9:40 am

grant April 2, 2011 at 9:03 am

Ugh…bravo, Admin….bravo. I too was like, Wait…they’re….oh dammit….April 1st….
Matt April 1, 2011 at 9:12 pm

FUCK. Sounded weird..I was excited for 10 seconds…and then. King for a Day…April Fool for a Lifetime.
Sophie April 1, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Yeah, I wasn’t fooled. Nice try, though and well thought up.
Ricardo (From Brazil) April 1, 2011 at 4:58 pm

I wish this wasn’t an April Fool’s Joke.

Firsa April 1, 2011 at 2:14 pm

JDub can you print an extra copy of your record player and mail it to me? I recycled mine, unfortunately. It doesn’t need to be in color, and I’ll pay for postage.

Happy April Fools’ Day 🙂
DREAN April 1, 2011 at 1:07 pm

FUCK THAT SHIT !!!!!!!!!! :-)))))))))))))))
JDub April 1, 2011 at 11:38 am

Kevin April 1, 2011 at 2:38 am

Is this an April Fool’s joke? If so it’s not very cool to tease this.
