A Wilhelm Scream announce fall tour dates

Technical skate-punk band A Wilhelm Scream have announced new fall tour dates. Bassist Bri Robinson had this to say: "In case you hadn't noticed, A Wilhelm Scream haven't been on tour for a while (apparently the longest break in the last 6 years of the band!). I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can speak for all of us in saying that we're aching to sweat, smell, lift gear and wait around for Mike [Supina] to finish brushing his teeth when we're already running late. A month from now, we'll be hopping on a plane to tour Europe, working our way from Prague up to the Reading/Leeds festivals, and also getting our first taste of Ireland (which I'm assuming will taste like whiskey, or... potatoes... yes). After that, during the fall we'll be darting across Canada and doing the outer-perimeter of the states.

The reason for this long break from touring is because we took a crack at recording ourselves, putting together an EP which will be coming out on Paper + Plastick. This 5 song EP is an eclectic mix of all the avenues the band have gone down since Mute Print--and we'll be throwing them into the sets on these upcoming tours.

That being said, we're ready to roll. Get stoked."
