The Stereophonics' new album has found its way onto the internet more than five weeks ahead of its official release.

Tracks from the critically-acclaimed 'Language. Sex. Violence. Other?' are now available for download on various peer-to-peer programs, according to the StereoBoard fansite.

It is believed that the leaked mp3s were ripped from a promo CD sent out to industry figures several weeks ago.

Nevertheless, 'Language. Sex. Violence. Other?' remains on course for a March 14 release.
