“Summer’s here and we are starting it off the best possible way I can imagine: by going on a cruise with 311. When we get home from the cruise our album Cabin By The Sea will be released,” said Heads front man Jared “Dirty J” Watson. “We will be heading out on our biggest summer tour yet with Matisyahu, who is also featured on the album. This summer’s gonna be hot, fun, insane. We’re planning tail-gate parties before the shows and after show parties at night. It’s just going to be one big party. Hope to see you there – all love!”

The Dirty Heads recently partnered with MTV to premiere the music video for the new album’s lead single “Spread Too Thin.” To watch the video, please click http://youtu.be/q3JyVmx3ftM.
