Paul Collins Beat To ‘Feel The Noise’

This time around the power-pop driven Collins is supporting his 15th release.  Feel The Noise arrives Sept. 9 on Alive Records.

Known in the touring biz as an artist who books his own dates and support bands, Collins’ next road trip is an extensive journey covering states east of the Rockies.  Keeping his method of operation where he plays with up-and-coming bands, this outing will include performances by Dan Vapid & The Cheats, Hitachi Stranglers, Bad Lovers, Rich Hands, Future Virgins and others.  But no matter who Collins has on the ticket, his Beat is guaranteed to rock the house on every date.
