For those in America, found this from a blog posted today:
"Bad Lieutenant, the project formed in 2007 by New Order's Bernard Sumner (guitar, vocals) and Phil Cunningham (guitar), along with Jake Evans (guitar, vocals), will see the long-awaited North American release of their debut album, Never Cry Another Tear, on October 6 on their own Triple Echo Records imprint. Initially and for a one-week period, the album will be available as a digital download exclusively through Amazon.com; subsequently, for one month beginning October 13, the full, physical CD can be purchased only at Amazon.com.
On November 10, Never Cry Another Tear will be distributed to all other retail outlets via a partnership with Original Signal Recordings. In addition, "Sink or Swim," the first single from Never Cry Another Tear, is now available as a free download for a limited amount of time on Bad Lieutenant's website http://www.badlieutenant.net. "Sink or Swim," along with the new track "Dynamo," will be released as a single on September 28 via digital retailers.
Working with his management and booking agency, Sumner opted to release Never Cry Another Tear through an innovative do-it-yourself system for the digital world. For brick-and-mortar outlets, a more traditional retail and marketing approach will be implemented. Sumner's team has already put into place online social networking, marketing, retail and publicity platforms to build a solid global fan base, digitally connecting Bad Lieutenant directly to its fan base.
Never Cry Another Tear was produced by Sumner and Bad Lieutenant, and features musicians who helped make the legendary New Order a Platinum-selling band and one of the most influential forces over the past three decades in the alt/rock/dance genres. The essence of the new album is crisp, streamlined 21st century guitar music, underscored by keyboards and occasional melodica, and the distinct vocals and guitar work of Evans."
Phew...
