The Constantines are currently working in their practice space writing songs for the follow up to 2005's Tournament of Hearts. That record was the band's second for SubPop and their final for the now defunct Canadian indie Three Gut Records. The Toronto-based group will be road-testing much of the new material soon, with a Canadian tour commencing on March 16th in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Alongside the depraved preachers of Jon-Rae and the River the band will head west to arrive in Tofino, BC by April. Along the way the pairing will be joined by Ladyhawk and Shotgun and Jaybird on select dates.
