Taking Back Sunday and The Used have announced a massive spring co-headlining tour across the U.S. The trek kicks off on March 14 in Dallas, TX, as both bands are set to play South By So What?! Festival at Quiktrip Park. Two days later in Houston, TX, the bands will once again join forces at the HWHAP Festival. The tour wraps up on April 27 at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL. Excellent support will be provided by tonight alive. and Sleepwave.
Taking Back Sunday have been in the studio working on their upcoming sixth studio album, Happiness Is, which comes out on March 18. It’s the long-awaited follow-up to their 2011 self-titled LP. Last week, the band premiered the music video for the album’s first single, “Flicker, Fade”. Two of the band’s albums – Where You Want To Be (2004) and Louder Now (2006) – peaked at #3 and #2 respectively on the Billboard Top 200.
The Used recently unveiled details for their new studio album, Imaginary Enemy,
due out April 1 via Anger Music Group, the band’s own label. Yesterday, the band premiered the new music video for “Cry”, the first single off the album. This new record is the band’s follow-up to their successful 2012 effort, Vulnerable, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200. On July 9, 2013, the band released an EP, The Oceans of The Sky. The band played Warped Tour in 2012, and returned to headline in 2013.
tonight alive. recently completed their first-ever U.S. headlining tour, which was sold out. In September 2013, the band released their sophomore effort, The Other Side, via Fearless Records. It debuted at #5 on the Australian Albums Chart, and #15 on Billboard Rock Albums. Sleepwave is a brand new two-piece outfit formed by former Underoath vocalist Spencer Chamberlain.
