The Dance Kid Dance Act II World Tour will be anything but small.

Speaking on the new record and the creative process behind it, frontman Brent Smith emphasized how deeply the band pushed themselves this time around, particularly longtime bandmate and producer Eric Bass. Pre-orders are available here.
"This album is over a year in the making. Without question as a band we pushed ourselves like never before. Especially when it comes to Eric. Myself, Zach, and Barry are so honored to create, and work with such an extraordinary producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter, musician, performer, and band mate. We are so excited, finally announce our 8th Studio album titled EI8HT alongside our Dance Kid Dance Act ll World Tour."
