Deaf Radio Kick off Massive Euro Tour on Nov. 14; Second Album to be Recorded
Hell yeah, go go go. Deaf Radio on Nov. 14 will launch a 33-date European tour that spans from Russia to the UK with plenty of stops in between. They’ll be closing the book on their 2017 debut album, Alarm (review here), ahead of hitting the studio to record their second outing, and presumably they’ll be finalizing that new material on the road as well. Would be a waste not to, anyhow. The first full-length was rife with post-Queens of the Stone Age vibes, in the drums almost as much as the guitar and vocals, but with added beef to the tonality and hooky songcraft, they had no trouble making a rousing first impression in their own right. I don’t know when in 2019 their new collection will see release, but it’ll be worth keeping an eye out for, and I wouldn’t be surprised to find some label or other swooping in to pick them up for it.
You can stream Alarm below via Bandcamp, and here are the dates from the PR wire:
DEAF RADIO | LIVING IN BACKSEATS TOUR 2018
From London and Berlin to Warsaw and Athens, Deaf Radio are about to finish on the road what started as an internet burst two years ago.
Internet -being the new underground- proved fertile ground for Deaf Radio’s debut “Alarm” and made it one of the most successful independent rock albums of the recent years. Since then, the band has built upon it with a series of live appearances (among which emphatic shows with The Killers, The Kills and All Them Witches), but now it’s ready to take a big step. For more than a month they will be watching the world from the backseats of their van, crossing Europe’s fields this November and December.
More than 30 dates have been announced and an estimate of 15,000km including Germany, UK, France, Eastern Europe and the Balkans is to be covered. According to the band this tour will be “the final scene of Alarm’s era” and they will enter the studio to record their second full-length album during 2019.
