beastie boys

The Beastie Boys are back with a brand new album, taking a more instrumental vibe this time, with their latest release The Mix-Up.

The seventh studio album is the follow-up to 2004’s To The 5 Boroughs, this time seeing Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals, which will no doubt please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication.
