The Beastie Boys have announced the title of their hotly-anticipated new album.

The trio yesterday told fans that "Our new record that is coming out that we finished the other day is called Hot Sauce Committee." Huh huh.

They added, "It's a lot of vocals, a lot of words - very wordy. And it's political, depending on what you call political. You know, if toilet talk and fart jokes are political, which they can be, in that sense yeah, very."
