The band announced last week that their new album, radio:ACTIVE, will come free with the Mail On Sunday six weeks before it's available in the shops.
"It was an opportunity that came up and it just seemed like a no-brainer really," drummer Harry Judd told DS. "It means that within one day millions of people will get to hear the album. I believe there are loads of people out there who would love our stuff but they've never given us a chance because they pigeonhole us as a boyband or something."
Judd also admitted that some fans have found the deal "hard to understand", saying: "A few fans are worried that the songs might not be as good because they're being given away for free, but that's not the case at all. Actually we want more people to hear these songs because we're so proud of them."
Copies of radio:ACTIVE come free with the Mail On Sunday on July 20.
