Ska-pop survivors Madness celebrated their appearance in Sunday’s mammoth, music-filled closing ceremony of the London Olympics — where they performed “Our House,” much like they did for the Queen earlier this summer — by releasing a free track off their forthcoming 10th studio album. The song — “Death of a Rude Boy” bears a rather glaring similarity to The Specials‘ “Ghost Town”. The new album will be Madness’ first since 2009′s The Liberty of Norton Folgate. [Source]
