Islands Add Dates to Full U.S. Tour

Arm's Way is the second album for the Canadian-bred rockers. Their first release, Return to the Sea, solidified them as an official indie staple and not just as "that band featuring the guys from The Unicorns."

"The Arm" is the first track to be released from the album and finds the group picking up where they left off on Sea — delivering more of their unique brand of excitable, quirk-meets-power pop. However, "Creeper," which recently popped up here and there, has been described as a darker twist on the sound, perhaps hinting at a more diverse album.

The 40-date tour kicks off May 22.
