      The band will appear on tonight’s episode of NBC’s "Late Night with Seth Meyers" to mark the announcement and perform their hit “Round Here”.

      “I'm happy to announce that the new Counting Crows album will be coming out this Fall on Capitol Records!!!” said the band’s Adam Duritz. “Just like The Beatles!!!”

      Barnett commented, “It’s not surprising that Counting Crows have built and maintained such a successful career for more than 20 years. The solid bond between the band and their audience has been forged through their great recordings and exciting live performances, and that relationship will continue with the release of 'Somewhere Under Wonderland' and their forthcoming tour.”
