Rolo Tomassi Announce October UK Headline Tour & Tickets

British mathcore rockers Rolo Tomassi have announced a UK tour for October. Tickets for Rolo Tomassi are onsale this Friday at 9am.
Rolo Tomassi have promised their fans a ‘hard-hitting’ new album, which they hope will appeal both to old fans that are already into the band and people who haven’t yet heard of them.
The band are currently working on the follow-up to their second studio album ‘Cosmology’, which hit shelves back in 2010, and are teasing fans with information about the new record. Speaking to NME earlier this year, keyboarder James Spence has revealed what the band has in-store for their fans, and what they can expect to hear on the new record.
“It's a lot more direct, 'Cosmology' had to be listened to a few times to be digested, whereas this is hard hitting straight away and much more immediate. We've built on the more melodic bits and I wanted to give Eva more of a chance to bring in her clean vocals. I hope it's the kind of record that people who were already into our band still like, but also brings new people in who haven't got into us before.
“We were questioning what we were doing for our label that we couldn't do ourselves. We've always been very proactive with the running of our band and we've never given away much freedom. We've had a few offers from other labels, but nothing really excited us. Hopefully, as this is our third record, we've got a core group of fans who'll buy it, so it's not too nerve-wracking.”
Vocalist Eva Spence concluded, saying: “I'm not sure about less heavy but it’s certainly not as cut and paste chaotic. We've tried to write songs rather than just writing music this time and it's a challenge, but one we feel up to.”
Rolo Tomassi will be supporting their new album on a new UK tour this autumn. The band have announced details of a 10-date tour that includes visits to Bristol, Brighton, Nottingham, Birmingham, Middlesborough, Manchester, Glasgow, Norwich and London.
