The trio possibly underestimated their fanbase yesterday when they posted on their Facebook: “Let’s have some fun. If we get 5000 likes on this post we’re going to leak a track off ‘Drinking from the Sun’”.

Nine minutes later they posted, “Wow. Give me a minute” (a post which got 2000 ‘likes’ itself) and soon linked up a YouTube of new song ‘Rattling The Keys To The Kingdom’.

They’re on a run at the moment, their first single ‘I Love It’ recently going platinum and yesterday scoring the number 10 spot on triplej’s Hottest 100.

Their sixth studio album Drinking From The Sun will be released on March 9, but while you’re waiting, check out ‘Rattling The Keys To The Kingdom’ below.
