They have been on tour since the fall in support of their new album, “Dinosaur Sounds.” They have also toured with bands like “Suicide Machines,” “Mighty Mighty Bosstones,” “Reel Big Fish” and “Penny Wise,” among many others, and have returned the favor by offering to help new bands on their way up.
