Abrams Announce West Coast Tour

abrams

It seemed reasonable to expect Denver, Colorado, trio Abrams would hit up the West Coast at some point after making their way east earlier this year. Next month they’ll begin and end with hometown shows at The Hi-Dive and play copious Californian and other dates in support of their 2015 debut full-length, Lust. Love. Loss. (review here), steeped in neo-prog heft and crisp rhythmic push.

They start out Oct. 16 and go till Nov. 1, as the PR wire informs:

The synergy of melody, groove, and bullet-train force displayed on Lust. Love. Loss. sets Abrams in line with heavy transcenders like Mastodon and Pelican. Drummer Michael Amster pushes forward with crisp, ghost-noted beats that nod to Dailor at his best; twin brother Zach Amster scrapes shimmering melodies and massive crunch out of his axe; Taylor Iversen’s basslines roll along like boulders down mountainsides.

When asked about their influences, the guys name-check heroes of post-hardcore like Fugazi and At the Drive-In. Indeed, Abrams’ sound could be perceived as a turbo-boosted, sludged-up incarnation of those bands’ spirits – driving and impassioned, traversing the spectrum of feeling, from mournful to triumphant.
