Bad Religion, Pennywise and The Offspring Team Up for Summer Tour

Looks like I am going to have some serious road trip plans this summer, as three of my all time favorite bands are teaming up for a summer tour. Bad Religion, Pennywise and The Offspring have announced the kick off to a tour titled the Summer Nationals. The clincher is that The Offspring plan to perform their album "Smash" in it's entirety. It just doesn't get much better than that.

According to Alternative Press

The Offspring will be performing Smash in its entirety for the first time (along with other new and classic songs). The album sold 12 million copies and remains the highest selling independent record of all time. Pennywise will be playing their classics along with songs from their upcoming new album on Epitaph. (This will also be Pennywise's first full North American tour following the return of original lead singer Jim Lindberg.)
