San Diego punk/hardcore pushers Retox recently announced they had signed on with Epitaph Records for their sophomore set YPLL, and the band have now revealed a stretch of tour dates that kick off on the LP's May 7 due date.

Venue specifics have yet to arrive, but the first show goes down in L.A. and will be followed up with more U.S. dates and Canadian stops in Toronto and Montreal. These will be the first Canadian dates from the band since last summer's trip with Melvins Lite.

You can peep the tour schedule, which also includes a gig in France this June, down below.

As previously reported, YPLL was recorded with producer Chris Rakestraw, and guitarist Michael Crain noted that the band were "particularly focused on riffs and simpler song structures" this time around. It's also the first LP to feature drummer Brian Evans and features guest guitar work from Yeah Yeah Yeahs member Nick Zinner on first single "Congratulations, You're Good Enough." You can sample that track in the video down below.
