Sick Puppies formed in 1997 and has released four albums, including 2013's "Connect," which cracked Billboard's top 20. The band scored rock radio hits with "All The Same," "You're Going Down," "Maybe" and "There's No Going Back."

The band has posted a few new tour dates but nothing in Texas yet. A new single "Stick to Your Guns," has already been teased and will be available in March.
