Arriving April 18 (pre-order here), You Can’t Put Out This Fire is the band’s first full lenghter in quite some time and is sure to be another wild offering of the band’s unique sound merging ska, punk, metal and reggae.

Hitting a whopping 22 cities and towns across the nation, the self-proclaimed “best band in the world” will be joined by one-man folk punk troubadour Slim Krusty, who recently completed his own mini-tour of the country.
