"When we wrote this record, we were just kids still living at home. Now, we’re dads, husbands, and have homes of our own. This record laid the groundwork for all of our future success and we will be forever grateful to it. And to you, the listener. Thank you so very much for providing us this life." - State Champs on the tour announcement.
Around the World and Back was released on October 16th, 2015 and it has since become one of the biggest pop punk albums of the 2010's and is still State Champs' biggest release to date, reaching number 30 on the US Billboard Top 200 albums chart within a month after it's release. The album has also birthed some of the band's moat popular songs like "Secrets" and "All You Are Is History". Don't miss your chance to celebrate one of the best pop punk albums to have come out in the last 10 years.
