The Explosion will be touring the US east coast in April and May in support of their latest full length Black Tape. In late April the band will hit the road alongside the Bouncing Souls, Let It Burn and the Loved Ones. After a week of dates the Explosion and the Loved Ones will continue on with Throw Rag joining the bill. This leg of the tour includes a few stops in Ontario and Quebec as well.
