• The British band's new album is available from T-Mobile only
• 10 fans received CDs with band-members' autographs

Prague, 2 July 2009 - The British band Placebo is releasing a new album titled Battle for the Sun, its first in three years. It is now available exclusively at t-music.cz, the largest digital-music outlet in the Czech Republic with more than 1,200,000 songs.

Placebo releases a new album once every three years. This time the album's release roughly coincides with the band's concert at the Rock for People festival in Hradec Králové. Those fans who cannot wait to see the trio consisting of Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal and Steve Forrest perform live on Monday, 6 July 2009, can download the band's latest album exclusively at www.t-music.cz.

The band's fans who visited the t-music.cz portal in June had a chance to extend their record collections with a very special album. The portal organized a competition to win 20 copies of Battle for the Sun, ten of which were signed by the members of the band.

With the release of the new album by Placebo, t-music is advancing its strategy of offering exclusively new albums by popular singers and bands. This year, t-music was the only place where studio albums of such artists as Depeche Mode, U2, Eminem and the Czech band Wohnout could be bought prior to their general release.
