After Nations Announce West Coast Tour
Posted in Whathaveyou on June 24th, 2025 by JJ Koczan
Kansas churncrushersย After Nations will set forth in September supporting their earlier-2025 full-length,ย Surface | Essence (review here). The progressive, djent-informed four-piece bask in tonal density and atmospheric sprawl, and rather than set that up as a contrast, it all comes through as part of the same affect, powerful at its loudest no less for breaking the security of the quieter stretches. It’s streaming below and won’t be for everybody, but, you know, pretty much nothing is, so there you go.
They’re headed west, starting out in their hometown of Lawrence and Denver, which are some 560 miles of highway apart. That’s a nine-hour drive on day one of touring, and then they’ve got two more nights before one of only three days off, at least one of which will be spent driving from Seattle to Redding, California (another nine hours), so one would hardly accuse them of taking it easy on themselves. If you’re in their path and appreciate a bit of pummel behind the heft — doesn’t everybody need a little sonic obliteration from time to time to feel alive? — the music is its own best argument for showing up.
