Crowbar Announce US Tour Dates
You don’t need me to tell you to go see Crowbar, but in case you do, go see Crowbar. The New Orleans progenitors of sludge metal are closing on 30 years since issuing their landmark self-titled debut, and they head out on this US run supporting their new album, Zero and Below (review here), on MNRK Heavy, formerly E1, bringing Spirit Adrift along for the ride. You should know by now what you’re getting into going to a Crowbar show — they will deliver — but while we’re on the subject of reliability, I want to say what a goddamn comfort it was to have Crowbar doing livestreams during the pandemic lockdown. I know they needed money and that fiscally that’s a poor substitute for touring, etc., but hot shit it was good to know that in a world busy turning itself inside out on multiple fronts, you could still count on Crowbar. May they outlive us all and tour forever.
From the PR wire:
CROWBAR: Summer Headlining Tour With Spirit Adrift Announced; Zero And Below Full-Length Out Now On MNRK Heavy
CROWBAR will return to the road this Summer on a US headlining tour with Spirit Adrift! The Riff Beast Tour will commence on July 22nd at Ripplefest in Austin, Texas, and run through August 27th at Tattoo The Earth Fest in Worcester, Massachusetts. Tickets are on sale now! See all confirmed dates below.
Comments vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein, “We are looking so forward to our Summer 2022 headlining tour! We truly believe in our latest album Zero And Below and can’t wait to bring you a great set list of old and new CROWBAR. See you on tour!”
CROWBAR will be touring in support of their critically-adored Zero And Below full-length released earlier this year on MNRK Heavy. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording And Production in Metairie, Louisiana, Zero And Below is the band’s most unforgivably doom-driven record since their 1998 landmark effort, Odd Fellows Rest. Led by Windstein, with guitarist Matt Brunson, bassist Shane Wesley, and drummer Tommy Buckley, songs like “Chemical Godz,” “It’s Always Worth The Gain,” and “Bleeding From Every Hole,” are unapologetic emotional outpourings, with a bare-knuckle resolve alongside its soul-searching vulnerability, reliably delivered with crushing heaviness.
