Written by Jon Stickler
Haggard Cat have announced a spring tour in support of their upcoming debut album, 'Challenger'.
With the LP set to arrive on April 20 through Earache Records, the tour will feature stops in Huddersfield, Bolton, York, London, Milton Keynes, Newport, Bristol, Newcastle, Nottingham, Lancaster, Sheffield and Corby between April 25 and May 11.
The Nottingham duo, comprising former Heck vocalist and guitarist Matt Reynolds and drummer Tom Marsh, have also shared a new track from the album, Goldberg, which follows previous cuts The Patriot, American Graffiti and Bone Shaker. Speaking about the song, Reynolds said:
"Goldberg is a very personal song to us. The lyrics deal with how touring and expectation cause deterioration of mental health and how our perception of ourselves on the road can lead to toxic behaviour. Although this might sound quite reflective, it's actually a very positive song about being more self aware and pulling through to the other side. Musically, it's also one of my personal favourites; focusing on the time signature still makes my head spin and I can't wait to get out on the road to play that chorus riff nice and loud!"
In addition to the Challenger tour, the band also play Rough Trade instore shows leading up to the album's release and also appear at Boomtown Fair this summer.
