SEATTLE, WA. (Top40 Charts/
Sounds Of Mass Production Official Website) - After a year in cold-storage, Seattle industrial-rock mainstays
Sounds of Mass Production are alive, well and ready to hit the road.
And this time, they're not alone.
Starting August 28, SMP will be tearing up freeways along with industrial hardcore outfit Stiff Valentine (Vancouver, Canada) for the Blood Trails Tour.
Hitting 14 cities across the West Coast, Blood Trails will bring audiences anger, empathy and electronics, mixed with heaps of crunchy guitars and percussion.
Sure, the economy's in the toilet, the music industry is a cratered moonscape and we're all left wondering if the next paycheck will be the last. But what are you gonna do, hide under your bed?
We're not, and neither should you.
BAND BIOS:
SMP, aka Sounds of Mass Production, is a Seattle based industrial-rock band, with heavy rap and punk influences. Their most current record, "The Treatment" was produced by Wade Alin of Christ Analogue.
Stiff Valentine is four-piece industrial punk juggernaut that calls Vancouver, B.C. home. Led by "Loud" Chris DeMarcus, SV tackles dance floors and mosh pits alike with heavy riffs, thumping beats, throat-tearing vocals and its not-so-secret weapon: a sense of humour.
Stiff Valentine's 2009 album, Industrial Metal Disco, weaves stories of rage, frustration and sadness at a 21st Century choking to death on its own boredom.
