The Rolling Stones will release the first song from their forthcoming 25th studio album tomorrow, April 11, but don't expect to find it on streaming services.
Rough and Twisted will be available as a vinyl-only 'white label' release, credited to The Cockroaches, a knowing nod to the legendary band's longevity, and a name used by the Stones in the past when playing secret shows.
Posters for The Cockroaches appeared in Camden, north London, earlier this week, featuring a QR code which leads to the homepage of the group's website. Fans interested in the 'mystery' band can sign up for further information, and/or purchase a T-shirt featuring the slogan, 'WHO THE FUCK ARE THE COCKROACHES?'
Fans who signed up to the site have received a message reading "Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name," in a nod to the Stones' timeless single Sympathy For The Devil.
