Stills Tour Western Canada In May

There's a new group — at least in the estimation of the folks behind the Juno Awards — who have an alternative album that those same people think rather highly of. They'll spread the gospel beyond the Canadian Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences' board room with seven western Canadian shows in May after they tour Australia and New Zealand with Kings Of Leon in March.

Who are we talking about? The Stills and their Oceans Will Rise album, of course.

"I'm With You," the third single from the Montreal group's third album (though there doesn't seem to be an intentional numerology thing happening like with Joel Plaskett's new album), should be well-ensconced in Canadian radio charts by the time The Stills launch their domestic tour. But they might want to keep an eye out for Nickelback when they're in Vancouver. We don't want to hear any domestic abuse reports.
