by | Apr 3, 2014

You know how we posted last week about a new Dillinger song getting released only on cassette and 7″? It’s called “Happiness is a Smile” and it looks like they’ll be playing it on their current tour across the US with Trash Talk and Retox, then Tera Melos and Vattnet Viskar.

Here’s a video of the band performing the song at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, NJ a couple days ago. As we mentioned before, the song will be available on 7″ and cassette on their upcoming tour dates.
