New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs have moved up the digital release date of "It's Blitz!," their latest Interscope album, to next Tuesday (March 10) following an internet leak last month. The CD is due in stores March 31.

"The cat's out of the bag after "It's Blitz!" escaped from our clutches into the big bad world last week. Why should some have and some have-not?" the band said in a posting on their website. "YYYs have been brimming with nervous excitement in anticipation of releasing this record to the world! Leaks are NO FUN but it's out of our hands."

For "It's Blitz!" Yeah Yeah Yeahs worked with producers Dave Sitek of TV on The Radio and Nick Launay, both of who have worked on the band's past records.  Guests include TVOTR's Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone, Antibalas saxophonist Stuart Bogie, and YYY’s touring band member Imaad Wasif.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are set to play the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, CA on April 19 before embarking on a European tour. The band also has a schedule date in Israel, where they're opening for Depeche Mode in Ramat Gan stadium. The group's only other currently scheduled U.S dates are festival stops at Sasquatch in Washington State and Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN.

Here is the full track list for "It's Blitz":

“Zero”
“Heads Will Roll”
“Soft Shock”
“Skeletons”
“Dull Life”
“Shame and Fortune”
“Runaway”
“Dragon Queen”
“Hysteric”
“Little Shadow”
