New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Colour Revolt, whose new album 'The Cradle' has provided a 'rebirth' (Wall Street Journal) for the band, continue their US tour with the next leg kicking off tonight in Chapel Hill, NC. The band have also added new dates that will take the tour into November. Early reviews of shows from the tour's first leg have been extremely positive, with the Nashville Scene saying a recent show was 'caustic, lyrical rock 'n' roll for dudes who like
Fugazi and Silkworm and early Modest Mouse.'

Praise for 'The Cradle':
"A tight 10-song disc with no filler."
-NY Post
'Colour Revolt are on fire right now, with a sonically adventurous new album under their belts.'
-American Songwriter
"They're infecting their Southern- and blues-affected brand of slow-cooked indie rock with bouts of restrained tension and vaguely impetuous guitars....No matter what Colour Revolt decide to do on these tracks, each is successful."
-Alternative Press
"'8 Years' is as tense and throaty as Lewis Black after five helpings of coffee and cigarettes."
-RcrdLbl.com
"These ten songs combine the scrappy energy and nerve of a rock band that's spent a few years barnstorming tiny clubs with the grand-scale ambitions and sonic grandeur of art rock."
-All Music Guide
