Hi Ryan,

On behalf of Columbia Records, Monotone and Broken Bells, we would kindly ask you not to post copies of the “Broken Bells” / eponymous album on your site (or any non-preview tracks from Broken Bells’ new album – street date 9th March).

We do appreciate that you are fans of / are promoting Broken Bells, but the label, management and artists would greatly appreciate your co-operation in removing your links to the pirate files in question.

Thank you for respecting the artists’ wishes and, if you / your readers want good quality, non-pirated, preview tracks, then full length versions of “The High Road” and “Vaporize” are available for fans and bloggers to link to / post / host etc at http://www.brokenbells.com … .. for further details of the new album, special pre-orders, on-line promotions, videos and 2010 shows, check-out the official site, as well as the artists’ MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/brokenbells and YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/brokenbells … .. and keep an eye on these official sources for details of further news, preview material and on-line promotions.
