South African rockers Seether are set to return to the UK with a brand new studio album, 'Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray' in a CD/DVD bonus format, a version of the album which is exclusive to the UK market. The band are also set to tour the UK in March 2012.
'Holding Onto Strings Better Left To Fray' was released to widespread critical acclaim in the USA in May 2011. The debut single from the album, 'Country Song', spent an amazing 11 weeks at Number One (on Active Rock radio) over the course of the year and recently achieved Gold status for sales of over 500,000 units digitally by the RIAA. The song was the #1 most played song at Active Rock radio for the year 2011, outdistancing such acts as Foo Fighters, Staind and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band’s next USA single 'Tonight' has also gone Number One on Active Rock Radio – the first time the band has had consecutive Number One singles at the format.
