As they canvas Europe in support of their new album Pretty Low, Expire are excited to announce a U.S. tour upon their return! This October, Expire will be hitting midwest and eastern U.S. markets supporting Stray From The Path. Other bands confirmed to appear are Counterparts and My Ticket Home – check out the tour routing below.
Expire’s new album Pretty Low ashes out like a laceration—it’s a festering blister that always feels like it’s been pulled too early, its wounds given too little time to heal. In the time since Expire released their fierce debut, 2012’s Pendulum Swings, something happened to the Midwest hardcore band that’s resulted in material that’s decidedly sharper, more pointed and somehow meaner than before, sounding looser and even less caged. Their approach is still traditionally concise, but this time around, Josh Kelting’s unfiltered lyrical barbs and Zach Dear’s riffs take just a little longer to dig in and take hold, exploding with scathing juggernauts that lay emotional waste for 24 minutes.
