The band recently stated in press release, “We’re excited to hit the road for our first proper headlining tour in support of Desolation. “This trek features our first Southeastern shows as well as dates in some of our favorite cities/venues, including Saint Vitus in Brooklyn and Reggies in Chicago. If that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing black ‘n roll maniacs Cloak with us.” They also added, “Brush up on the lyrics, practice your air guitar moves.”
