Secretly Canadian shufflers the War on Drugs are all set to release their debut album, Wagonwheel Blues, on their new label. The LP follows up the Barrel of Batteries EP, which the band is still giving away for free via the Secretly Canadian website.

In anticipation of the full-length record's June 17 release, the War have unveiled Wagonwheel's tracklist and lined up a U.S. tour featuring dates with Blood on the Wall and Bishop Allen. They'll also take their vendetta against controlled substances to Europe in August-- including a gig in, yes, Amsterdam. Best of luck there, you guys.
