Self-proclaimed Canadian hunks (check their website) Uncut will finally release their super-double-awesome second album, last year's Modern Currencies, in the U.S. on July 17 via Paper Bag Records.

The U.S. release of Modern Currencies comes without the dead weight that usually masquerades as bonus tracks or extra features, but it does come with a decent-sized tour with fellow Canuck Patrick Krief of the Dears, who is hopefully doing a little better since being the victim of gear theft a couple months ago. That tour kicks off in July, but both Uncut and the Dears have dates before then.

Uncut's shows start tomorrow (June 30) in Detroit, and the Dears' start July 11 in London (England, not Ontario).
