NEW YORK (Strokes Fan Website) - The Strokes' hugely anticipated second album Room on Fire has been leaked onto the internet. Ten of the 11 songs from the album were leaked online over the weekend, according to fan websites. Users of various unofficial message boards are now sharing mp3 files of the album. The album joins a list of hundreds that have appeared on the internet before their official release, despite a massive clampdown on file sharing by the music industry. Earlier this year, Radiohead's new album Hail To The Thief turned up on the internet months before the record was due to hit the shops. Room On Fire is officially released in the Europe on October 19. The single 12:51, comes out two weeks earlier on October 6.
