Strokes Announce New Single, More U.S. Dates

On March 13, Rough Trade will release "Heart in a Cage" in the UK, where you will be able to buy it in actual stores. But here in the States, where singles just kind of appear out of thin air, you can either click wheel over to track three of the band's latest album, First Impressions of Earth, or you can catch the Sam Bayer-directed music video when it premieres this Friday, February 17, on music.yahoo.com. Unless YouTube gets to it first.

The Strokes finish up their UK tour this week, and promise to return to Europe this summer for a run through the festival circuit. The gang recently added several more dates to their US tour, which kicks off March 1.
