This Will Destroy You : New Song + Headlining Tour



It is with great pleasure to announce that not only is there a free mp3 available of the new This Will Destroy You track, "Communal Blood," but the Texan four-piece band is headed out on the road soon in a headlining slot. It's been two long years since I last saw them perform in a tiny venue at SXSW, and the performance has never wandered far from the forefront of my memories. TWDY's drummer was after referred to as "a human hammer" by myself and accompanying friend, and the set itself was comparable to Explosions In the Sky and Godspeed's finest moments.

A must-see tour. The band will have a limited pressing (500) of "Communal Blood" on vinyl, and the new full-length, Tunnel Blanket, will be out on...ahh, I have no idea. Will edit when I find out.
