Southern California-based hard rock veteran, Smile Empty Soul, and fellow tour-mate, Hurt, have launched a cover of the Alice in Chains track, 'No Excuses,' on the Banana 101.5 website at: http://banana1015.com/hurt-smile-empty-soul-cover-alice-in-chains-no-excuses-exclusive-premiere/.

The song was recorded earlier this month at 37 Studios in Rochester Hills, Mich. with producer Matt Dalton - known for his work with both local and national acts including Frequency 54 and Chiodos/D.R.U.G.S. front-man, Craig Owens.

Smile Empty Soul is currently in the midst of an extensive U.S. tour with Hurt, touring in support of its fifth album, 3's, and latest charting single, "Not Alike." Guitarist/vocalist, Sean Danielsen, has checked in with the following update from the road:

"This tour with Hurt has been great so far. The music really meshes well and everybody is getting along like family! Two quality rock bands bringing it every night...don't miss it!"

A full list of confirmed tour-dates can be seen below.
