Read More All That Remains As expected, fans are divided on the approach that All That Remains have taken on their new album but I think the least anyone could say is that it's a giant step forward from the disaster that was A War You …

Las Vegas’ Falling in Reverse is touring support of their latest record Coming Home (Epitaph Records).

Show up early to check out Massachusetts-based All That Remains. Their latest Madness came out on Razor & Tie Records to an overwhelmingly positive response hitting #1 US Top Hard Rock Albums and #9 US Top Rock Albums charts.

We caught the rock band in Oct 2015 and noted, “All That Remains were the headliners of the night, currently touring in support of their latest studio album, The Order Of Things… The Massachusetts band, featuring singer Phil Labonte, guitarist Oli Herbert, rhythm guitarist Mike Martin, bassist Jeanne Sagan, and drummer Jason Costa, played some hits, including their first hit single "This Calling".”

Melbourne’s Ocean Grove (singer Luke Holmes, guitarist Jimmy Hall, guitarist Matthew Henley, bassist Dale Tanner, and drummer Sam Bassal) also on the bill.

UK’s Glass Animals has sold out every appearance in Minnesota… and their upcoming Palace Theatre show in St Paul is no exception. This is the band’s third North American headline tour and they are playing their biggest venues yet.

Glass Animals’ How To Be A Human Being is out now on Harvest Records. Their single ‘Agnes’ has been streamed over 10 million on Spotify worldwide.

Amber Mark to open. The singer’s latest single ‘Heatwave’ came out recently and immediately had Pitchfork calling it a “pop song built from melodies so warm, it might make a listener sweat from the second it starts.” Look for Mark’s debut 3.33am EP on PMR/Interscope Records.

PALEHOUND
at 7th Street Entry

Boston’s Palehound is headlining the 7th Street Entry in support of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, A Place I'll Always Go (Polyvinyl Record Co.)

We caught the band in November 2015 and wrote, “Palehound seemed to have as many fans at the show as Mitski. Not only because they are Pitchfork darlings. Delivering a somber, yet engaged set to an attentive audience, it’s clear that Ellen Kempner really cares about her story and craft. Her soundscape could be considered standard indie rock if it wasn’t for the evocative, sincere lyrics and almost new wave guitar noodling that she weaves in. Live she adds a bit of fury to the songs with some strong well placed shrieks. Her band is also very tight, and I enjoyed the tone and trot that the bassist brought. I’m definitely interested in what else Ellen decides to create as Palehound.”

Tall Friend and Strange Relations will open.

JONTI

A year ago, if you were to mention Gotye in the USA, no one would know who that was. He got a massive, massive hit with "Somebody That I Used to Know" (which hit #1 on the Billboard charts.) Anyway, Gotye has asked Jonti to come out on tour with him in August. How lucky!

Jonti added, "I will be embarking on an amazing journey with Gotye and his crew across the US and Europe. To see all those city name's and venues like Radio City and Greek Theatre is a little scary, but way more exciting. I'm really looking forward to the tour at the moment!"

He starts the tour next week, August 22nd. If everything works out, I'll be seeing Jonti at Minneapolis' US Bank Theater (across the street from First Avenue). I'll expect to hear music from Jonti's albums, Twirligig and Sine & Moon. Also check out his mixtape for Under the Radar magazine.

STRUNG OUT
strungout.com

Who can believe that this legendary punk band is still around? I remember playing their songs when I was a radio DJ at KFSR 90.7 FM. For a time in the 90s, South-Cal punk was the thing. Of course, we also had ska, but you never really hear ska bands in the news (well, okay, I know Mighty Mighty Bosstones are on tour.)

Anyroad, Strung Out just played at the Triple Rock in Minneapolis, and they're still on the long "Twisted In A Suburban Wasteland" tour for North America. What makes this tour cool is that they're doing every songs from two albums, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues and Twisted By Design.

Why are they doing this? Singer Jason Cruz answered, "It feels right to do one last retrospective before we head into the making of another album. I think people will really enjoy these older songs played back to back."

Most of these dates are with Such Gold, who I previously mentioned.
