The tour kicked off in [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's, Newfoundland]], on June 14. It was the first time the band had been to Newfoundland. Along with a self-titled 10" of 1980s hardcore punk cover songs, the band also planned to re-release their first recordings in the summer of 2011. The 10" features covers from the Necros and D.O.A. and songs such as "Police Brutality" and "Race Riot." The album was released on a vinyl record and has been distributed to independent record companies around the U.S., Great Britain, and elsewhere.
