The Goo Goo Dolls released a statement indicating that they intend to embark on a United States spring tour that will start in Oxford, MS on April 3. They are promoting their recent album entitled, Something For The Rest of Us.

From this album, the hit song, “Home” has sprung and has given the group, which has gone platinum several times over, their personal record of having the most hits in the Top 10 of the Billboard Adult Top 40 List as compiled by Nielsen. This is the 14th song to reach the Top 10 for the group, which is made up of Johnny Rzeznik on vocals and guitar, Robby Takac on bass, and Mike Malinin on drums.

Their album Something For The Rest of Us started out in the number 7 position on the Billboard Topp 200 list and has garnered many positive comments from music critics with Billboard, USA Today and others. They are praising the quality of Rzeznik’s songs in which he touches upon the emotional impact of a bad economy, an endless war, and the constant stream of news.

The in-progress US outing of the Goo Goo Dolls has been extended, as their highly anticipated new album “Something For The Rest of Us” is set to be released.

The road trip for the alt-rockers continues on June 9 in Austin, which will be followed by an additional 31 visits coast to coast. The trek will wrap up in Los Angeles on August 29.

Tickets for most of the shows can be purchased via Ticketmaster.

“Something For The Rest of Us,” the ninth studio album from the Goo Goo Dolls, will be released on August 31 by Warner Brothers. Tim Palmer (U2, David Bowie) and Butch Vig (Nirvana, Green Day) are the producers. The set is the first new material collection from the band since “Let Love In” released in 2006.

In a recent press release, Johnny Rzeznik, guitarist/frontman said I wanted to have some of the album’s material address disillusionment in this difficult period of time that we are living in. I wanted our emotional uncertainty that is part of these hard times to be given a voice.

“Home,” the lead single from the album, is playing currently on mainstream radio stations across the nation. It can also be purchased via iTunes.
