Aptera Announce April Tour Dates
Cheers to Berlin-based (I guess?) heavy thrashers Aptera on getting out. The four-piece released their debut album, You Can’t Bury What Still Burns (review here) last June through Ripple Music and considering the world we live in, eight months after the fact isn’t so bad, especially since they were originally going to go in April 2020 rather than April 2023. I’ll just assume you know the story there in terms of what is at least behind the bulk of that delay, but if not, hit me up direct and we’ll talk about the plague, generational trauma, capitalist exploitation of disaster scenarios, and so on. I’d say it’ll be a fun chat, but yeah, probably not.
Perhaps the better thing to do would just be to dig into the record on the embed below, since Aptera is both more articulate and more concise than I might hope to be in that explanation, and the aggression of their delivery is part of the point it’s underscoring. To be perfectly honest, while I’m glad Aptera are going to tour and I hope this leads to more road-time, and so on, I was just as happy to see them announce the string of shows since it gave me an excuse to post the album again for anyone who might’ve missed it happening by. If that’s you, right on. If not, well, maybe you’ll go to a show. And if that’s not where you’re at either, it’s cool. Always next time.
