The collection's first single, Far Cry, is set to hit rock radio outlets nationwide in mid-March. "It's hard to describe," Geddy Lee recently told Revolver: "It's big, it's bold, and I think it's some of the best work we've done in years. I'm really pleased with the quality of the songs, and there's lots of playing on it." Rush - Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - will trumpet the release of Snakes & Arrows with a full-scale North American tour, the renowned trio's first since 2004's "An Evening with Rush: 30th Anniversary Tour." The trek is slated to traverse the continent through the summer.

Since releasing its self-titled debut album in 1974, Rush has been universally regarded as one of the most inventive and exciting groups in rock, famed for Lee, Lifeson, and Peart's virtuoso musicianship, epic soundscapes, and dramatic lyricism. The band's extraordinary body of work has achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million units.
