The Minnesotan collective Doomtree have set off to take Europe by storm this month with a clutch of dates scheduled across the continent, including several as main support for Yelawolf. The collective recently announced: "Doomtree has spent the last ten years racking up miles on beat-up tour vans--and we're ridiculously excited to log some frequent flyer miles. We're a sizable collective, which makes traveling expensive, but we've worked for a long time to make a European tour a reality. We put everything we've got into our live shows, and I think this new audience will be able to see how much we love what we do and the crew we do it with."

To coincide with this visit across the pond, they will be releasing single "Bangarang" as a free download on 28th May, along with b-side "Fresh New Trash". "We wrote and demoed most of the album ('No Kings') over a five day period out at a cabin in the middle of nowhere," note the guys, "and 'Bangarang' was one of the last songs we ended up making out there. Mike's chorus really set the tone for the whole reflective 'decade in our lane' subject matter."

The accompanying music video features a guest turn from the inimitable Har Mar Superstar as he takes a turn on karaoke along with the crew.
