New Music Friday: 12 new releases for the last weekend of spring

As spring draws to a close, the music world is buzzing with new releases, offering a preview of sounds to come in the fall. This week's "New Music Friday" features a diverse lineup, from rediscovered gems to collaborations between established and emerging artists.

Cold War Kids are revisiting their early work with "There Goes the Night," a song written during their debut album's era but never released. It will be included in an expanded reissue of their first album, "Robbers & Cowards," with the reissue's release date still to be announced.

Mike D, a member of the legendary Beastie Boys, is back with his new single "True Colours." This marks his first solo release since contemplating his career after the passing of Adam "MCA" Yauch. A full album, "Thank You," is slated for August 28, promising to be a significant release for fans of the iconic hip-hop group.

Meanwhile, German band Electric Callboy has teamed up with punk rock veterans The Offspring for "Let the Good Times Roll." The collaboration has clearly struck a chord, with the song's music video amassing over 1.1 million views on YouTube within its first five days. The track will appear on Electric Callboy's upcoming album, "TANZEID," due August 7.
