Some Kind of Awesome, indeed. Courtesy of the aptly titled website, we now have our first official taste off The Dead Weather’s forthcoming sophomore LP, Sea Of Cowards, this being single number one, “Die By The Drop”, and accompanying B-side “Old Mary”.

As we reported last week, Sea Of Cowards is due for release on May 11th via Third Man Records. Amazon.com still lists the single as due for release today; however, according to the band’s rep (via Rolling Stone), that release date is incorrect. Either way, you can stream it right now.

Update: The band has released an official music video for the single, which you can view right here.
