Constantines add U.S. tour dates

Canadian rock quintet Constantines are planning a little trip through the States in support of their new EP, Slow For Love, a bonus album that compliments their acclaimed full-length 2008 record, Kensington Heights. The EP features alternate takes of some of the band's hits, including four tracks from their most recent release, and is available for free with the purchase of that album (click here if you want more info).

I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the new stripped-down versions yet, but the album was one of 2008's best rock records, number one according to Alternative Press, so I imagine it's worth getting your hands on. Check out tour dates below:
