These United States have announced a headlining summer tour with Heartless Bastards. After completing 800 shows over 44 states, the band is set to kick off this spring with a stacked list of shows.

The quartet’s will tour behind their self-titled fifth studio album, which features past collaborators John McCauley (Deer Tick), Michael Nau (Cotton Jones), Matthew Houck (Phosphorescent), Laura Burhenn (The Mynabirds), Ben Sollee, David Moore (Langhorne Slim), Josh Read (Revival) and the entire Frontier Ruckus band.

The LP promises to be a “rambunctious melting pot of rock-and-roll, psych pop, folk balladry, and outlaw country.” Recorded with Duane Lundy (Jim James, Ben Sollee), the full-length album These United States is set for a June 12 release through United Interests.
