BREAKING LACES SET TO
LAUNCH FULL NATIONWIDE SUMMER TOUR
Six-week tour begins July 30th
in Scottsdale with The Dangerous Summer
Brooklyn, NY—Perennial indie darlings and road warriors Breaking Laces are poised to up the ante on an
already stellar 2013, embarking on a non-stop coast-to-coast tour in support of
their most recent album, Come Get Some.
Joining forces with current buzz bands The Dangerous Summer, Tommy and the High
Pilots, and Rare Monk, the shows promise to be one of the most entertaining touring
bills of the summer of 2013.
“It’s a lot of dates with
like-minded bands working together,” said Laces drummer Seth Masarsky. “It's gonna be like an old school ‘50's style
tour but hopefully without any unforeseen plane crashes.”
Breaking
Laces’ sound has been likened to Nirvana infiltrating the Barenaked Ladies;
infused with catchy power pop reminiscent of Cheap Trick; and the acoustic and
electronic musicality of Death Cab for Cutie. Infectious and wide-reaching,
their sonic landscape is in full form on Come Get Some, which has since become a hit
on the road, over the radio, and online.
This
spring, their single “Mr. Curry is a Cop” received significant airplay on modern
rock radio with over one million impressions, and was the band’s highest
charting song to date. In June, the video that
truly brought Curry to life was a finalist on MTV.com’s Freshmen, enabling the Laces to invade 30 million households
including over 750 college campuses.
Beginning July 30th, they’ll be revisiting some
of their most loyal fan bases throughout the country, and breaking ground in
many new ones; all while simultaneously causing and trying to avoid trouble. Perhaps
lead singer Willem Hartong put it the best when he said, only half-jokingly,
“We look forward to having outstanding warrants in multiple U.S. states.”
Their next
single, “When the Lightning Comes,” will be released to radio to coincide with
the tour.
“It’s precision-crafted power-pop that
winks at you.”—Blog Critics
“The album is well produced, nicely
arranged and demonstrates how the band, at least, tries to push for a variety
of sounds, as the group settles into a nice little groove.”—Mountain Times
