Celebrated singer-songwriter Frank Turner is set to bring his rousing brand of literary folk punk to fans across North America in 2012. The charismatic young British troubadour will be performing with his band the Sleeping Souls in support of his acclaimed new album England Keep My Bones. Turner will first be joining Southern California rock ‘n’ roll rebels Social Distortion for a series of West Coast dates, before heading out with Celtic rock sensations The Dropkick Murphys. Critical Acclaim for Frank Turner:  “The people’s prince of punk poetry” – NME  “Blends punk-inspired beats with touching homages to his homeland, and finds him setting blunt poetry to brilliantly catchy melodies.” - NPR  “England Keep My Bones is the perfect complement to the perfect pint, a salve for anyone who didn’t grow up to become an astronaut or a Nobel laureate. It’s a temporary antidote to the longest workday, a no-show dinner date, a crumbling economy, or really anything that reeks of BS.” – Village Voice Frank Turner Tour Dates:  Jan. 27 – Las Vegas, NV – The Joint @ Hard Rock Hotel with Social Distortion Jan. 28 – Flagstaff, AZ – Orpheum Theatre Jan. 31 – Albuquerque, NM – Sunshine Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 01 – Tucson, AZ – Rialto Theatre with Social Distortion Feb. 02 – El Paso, TX – Tricky Falls Feb. 03 – Tempe, AZ – Marquee Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 04 – Tempe, AZ – Marquee Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 05 – San Louis Obispo, CA – SLO Brew with Sharks  Feb. 06 – Reno, NV – Knitting Factory with Social Distortion Feb. 07 – Reno, NV – Knitting Factory with Social Distortion  Feb. 09 – Santa Cruz, CA – Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium with Social Distortion Feb. 10 – Oakland, CA – Fox Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 11 – Oakland, CA – Fox Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 12 – Eugene, OR – John Henry’s  Feb. 13 – Chico, CA – Senator Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 14 – Modesto, CA – Modesto Center Plaza with Social Distortion Feb. 16 – Ventura, CA – Majestic Ventura Theatre with Social Distortion Feb. 17 – Pomona, CA – Fox Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 18 – Pomona, CA – Fox Theater with Social Distortion Feb. 21 – St. Louis, MO – Off Broadway  Feb. 22 – Columbus, OH – Outland Live  Feb. 23 – Indianapolis, IN – Egyptian with Dropkick Murphys  Feb. 24 – Milwaukee, WI – Bradley Center with Dropkick Murphys Feb. 25 – Minneapolis, MN – First Avenue with Dropkick Murphys Feb. 27 – Dallas, TX – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Feb. 28 – Houston, TX – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Feb. 29 – Austin, TX – Emo’s East with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 01 – New Orleans, LA – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 03 – Pompano Beach, FL – Popano Beach Amphitheatre with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 04 – Orlando, FL – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 05 – Tampa, FL – Ritz Ybor with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 06 – Atlanta, GA – Tabernacle with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 07 – Nashville, TN – Marathon Music Works with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 09 – Atlantic City, NJ – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 10 – Uncasville, CT – Mohegan Sun Arena with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 11 – Huntington, NY – Paramount Theatre with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 15 – Boston, MA – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 16 – Boston, MA – House of Blues with Dropkick Murphys Mar. 17 – Lowell, MA – Tsongas Arena with Dropkick Murphys

Epitaph Signs Skip The Foreplay!

Posted at 11:04am, December 7, 2011 - 10 notes

Skip the Foreplay
New Album Out 2012

Epitaph Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Skip The Foreplay.  Known for their distinct musical style, which mashes up elements of dubstep and house with pop and metal-core, the ground-breaking Montreal - based band has been electrifying audiences with their intoxicating blend of hardcore heaviness and dance floor energy since 2010. Skip The Foreplay will be releasing their anticipated full length Epitaph debut this spring.

“Aside from having one of the greatest names in history, Skip The Foreplay are simply Satan’s delivery system for music of mass destruction,” offers Epitaph founder and President Brett Gurewitz.

Skip The Foreplay made a serious impression on audiences while appearing with the likes of Hollywood Undead, Lamb Of God, NOFX, Alesana and more. The band will be joining up with rock n’ roll heavy hitter Ronnie Radke and Falling In Reverse for a tour this January and February before spending the summer on the road.

Skip The Foreplay singer Marc-André Fillion proclaims, “We’re extremely happy to now be a part of the Epitaph family.  Our first record is finally done!  We can’t wait to share it with you guys and will keep you posted on the release date.  We’ve also just been confirmed on our first US tour with Falling In Reverse in January/February 2012.  So come hang out and join the party!”

The band recently created an internet sensation with their stunning and delightfully seditious cover of the song “Champagne Showers” by the popular electro pop duo LMFAO. The new version retains all the seductive dance floor hooks of the track, while adding some serious heaviness that includes massive bass drops, breakdowns, and cerebral electronic remixes.

To watch Skip The Foreplay’s radical version of “Champagne Showers,” just go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4iOhG7DD2k
