Beastie Boys: Releasing New Album This Summer?

Maybe we'll get a new Beastie Boys album this summer!

It is pretty soon after their 2004 release of To the 5 Boroughs, but I'm looking forward to hearing some near material from them.

Via Billboard:

The Beastie Boys are putting the finishing touches on a new record. "Hopefully that'll be out this summer, too," group member Adam Yauch tells Billboard.

Though he remained characteristically tight-lipped about details, Yauch says the Beasties plan to air out some of the new material in a series of dates this summer.
