NJ punk vets The Bouncing Souls are teaming up with NYC melodic hardcore vets H2O for a spring tour. “The first rendition of the East Coast Fuck You Tour with H2O was in the late ’90s and it was really one for the books,” Souls vocalist Greg Attonito says. “We’re going for the repeat here!”
Dave Hause and The Mermaid, School Drugs, Adolescents, and The Jack Knives will each open select dates as well, and the tour begins on April 24 in Detroit and wraps up on May 31 in Vancouver, hitting Cleveland, Buffalo, Albany, Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Portland, Seattle, and more. In the middle they have a couple of festival dates — Dave Hause’s Philly fest Sing Us Home, and Las Vegas’ Punk Rock Bowling.
Tickets to all non-festival dates go on sale Friday, January 31 at 10 AM local, with a presale starting today (1/28) at noon local – use the password ECFU. See all dates below.
The Souls will also do more touring with H2O later this year, and they’re in the studio working with producer and engineer Will Yip on new music now. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, H2O’s 1999 album Faster Than The World (aka F.T.T.W.) is coming back to vinyl for the first time since its initial release for its 25th anniversary, along with the first-ever release of the album’s demo sessions that were engineered by Rancid’s Tim Armstrong. We have an exclusive opaque yellow (disc one) and opaque green (disco two) variant, limited to 200 copies and available for pre-order now.
