The first leg of the tour has now confirmed label mates Cursive (March 3rd – March 10th excluding Radio City Music Hall shows) andMynabirds (March 11th – March 17th) as support.

The 7-piece band will be kicking off this tour in Miami in March before taking in the South, the East Coast, the Midwest, Texas, Canada and the West Coast.
