(rockaaa) Soundgarden are getting set for their month-long North American summer tour, which kicks off July 2 in Toronto.

The live dates give the band a break from the studio, as the reunited unit continues work on new music.
“Well, our interest is in being a vital band,” guitarist Kim Thayil tells Stereogum.
“We want to write songs and record them. We’re still like kids in a candy shop when it comes to writing songs and hearing them recorded."
