Big news, Smashing Pumpkins fans: the band has announced plans to mount a major fall 2012 North American arena tour.

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has been talking trash about just everyone in music this year, and now beloved grunge goliaths Soundgarden are no exception.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has been on a media tear as of late to promote the band’s newest album, ‘Oceania.’ Although the musical mastermind has taken his media opportunities to air some of his grievances about … well, everyone ever, Corgan just took part in a more light-hearted interview — talking about his ideal dinner guest, his strangest celebrity encounter, the song he wants played at his funeral and more.
Billy Corgan has a lot of trash to talk as he does the promotional rounds for Smashing Pumpkins‘ new ‘Oceania’ album — from his “piss on f—in’ Radiohead” comment to his total dissing of his former bandmates — and his latest target is a big one. Speaking to Fuse, the singer pretty much bashed all bands of the grunge generation, calling them out for not living up to the ideals they supposedly set back in the roaring ’90s.
With just one week to go before its release, the Smashing Pumpkins are firing up the anticipation machine by streaming their latest album, ‘Oceania,’ via iTunes. In addition, they have announced an intimate album release show in New York City.
Any Smashing Pumpkins fan worth their salt knows that there is a wealth of unreleased material in frontman Billy Corgan‘s vault.

Smashing Pumpkins fans will have to wait until June 18 for the release of ‘Oceania,’ the band’s first album since 1997′s ‘Zeitgeist,’ but more details are rolling out in advance of the big day. On Friday (April 28), the band unveiled the disc’s front cover artwork and complete track listing.
