Having finished their summer tour, Paramore have announced the release of new material.

Their first new track ‘Renegades’ is available now.  Over the next three months, the band will be releasing two more new songs.  ‘Hello Cruel World’ will follow on November 7th and ‘In The Mourning’ on December 5th.

The three songs mark the beginning of the Paramore Singles Club and will only be available from the band’s official website and not available from iTunes.

The band have said the Singles Club will feature more downloads in future.  While there are plans to begin work on a new album in 2012, it is not yet known whether any of these new songs will feature on the forthcoming full-length LP or available elsewhere on CD at a later date.

You can listen to ‘Renegade’ below.

Alternative rock icons Beck, Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) and Mark Lanegan (ex-Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) have remixed a couple of tracks from ex-White Stripes/Dead Weather man Jack White’s back catalogue.

Beck has remixed a version of ‘The Hardest Button To Button’ from The White Stripes’ ‘Elephant’, while Homme & Lanegan remixed ‘Hang You From The Heavens’, a number from The Dead Weather’s debut LP.

Both track will appear on a strictly limited 7″ single, issued on Third Man Records as part of White’s record subscription club ‘The Vault’. Also included in package #10 is a limited coloured vinyl LP containing a Raconteurs live show and a DVD containing footage of a Third Man live party and behind the scenes footage.

Subscriptions for The Vault are $20 a month for three months.
