Judah & the Lion announced a world tour behind their upcoming LP, Pep Talks. Their 34-date North American leg launches August 10th in Kansas City, Missouri and wraps November 8th in Atlanta, Georgia.
A general on-sale starts Friday, March 8th at 10 a.m. local time. Citi card members can access a Private Pass pre-sale that runs from Tuesday, March 5th at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, March 7th at 10 p.m. local time.
The alt-rock trio also previewed their third album with the soul-searching new song Why Did You Run? Over an arena-sized arrangement of acoustic strums, processed vocal samples and booming electronics, frontman Judah Akers reflects on family crises and feeling like a lost kid looking for a home. I just want you to be happy, he pleads at the climax. Why cant you be happy?
Pep Talks also features the previously issued tracks Over My Head, Quarter-Life Crisis, the title-track and the Kacey Musgraves-featured Pictures.
