Upper Darby, PA. (Top40 Charts/ Relapse Records) Royal Thunder, the Atlanta-based co-ed quartet whose debut album (CVI) landed on Best of 2012 lists from Decibel, Pitchfork, Spin,
Revolver and the Village Voice, have added a new leg of U.S. tour dates, joining Ancient VVisdom for a 10-date run in late February.
Royal Thunder, who have spent the better part of the past year on the road, kick off a trek with Enslaved and Pallbearer tomorrow in Philadelphia, performing at Underground Arts. The seven-week tour includes stops in several Canadian cities including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.
The band recently returned to the studio to record acoustic versions of three songs from CVI with more details to be shared shortly. A video for "Blue" premiered via Pitchfork earlier this month.
