Blessthefall Goes Back To Basics

Blessthefall’s hardcore screams will echo across Western North America this summer. Like Moths To Flames, Get Scared and Picturesque all join the headbangers on the trip.

The band has played with genre heavyweights As I Lay Dying, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine and August Burns Red over the past few years, but is now moving away from stadiums and arenas. The “Back To Basics Tour,” is the group’s effort to connect with fans in “sweaty, intimate venues” according to singer Beau Bokan.

There are 12 dates on the routing, spanning just over two weeks in July. The first show is scheduled in Anaheim, Calif., Jul 8 at Chain Reaction. From there the gigs stay on the left half of the continent, but do extend from northernmost Calgary, Alberta, to Tucson, Ariz.

Prior to the tour, the screamers will be playing Chain Reaction in Japan this June.

The band unveiled a new video for its single “Oathbreaker” today. Blessthefall is supporting its To Those Left Behind album, released in 2015.
