The band will be touring in support of their fifth studio album, White Crosses, released by Sire/Warner on June 8th, 2010.

Garnering much critical acclaim, with SPIN.com claiming “White Crosses… Gabel is at his best when he’s feisty: “Spanish Moss” and “Rapid Decompression” feel closest to New Wave’s sweet spot of fury and flash.,” and Kerrang commenting ” Tom Gabel is still firing off socially conscious songs with every fiber of his body and those songs are still honest, blue-collar punk belters.”. Rolling Stone added “the songs on White Crosses are “righteous, churning, gut-rollers.” Nylon Guys praises lead singer Tom Gabel as “a staggeringly prolific songwriter.”
