When I was a teenager my friends and eye were in somewhat awe of Bleeding Through. When they would show up to shows with Point of Recognition, Hope Conspiracy and others, we’d see the singer get some mad props for just looking and being cool. They played with some of my favorite bands growing up, including and not limited to Zao, Falling Cycle, Hatebreed, and so many others. I still love metalcore, hardcore and heavy music and that’s never going to change.
So when I saw that they are hitting the road I got excited but more so the fact that they are going on tour with one of my favorite bands of the current hardcore era: Sleeping Giant. Sleeping Giant has one hell of a message and they have one of the best metallic hardcore albums out now with “Sons of Thunder”. They are an amazing live act to see, and top that off with Bleeding Through, and you’ve got one of the best tours to hit the U.S Hardcore scene in a long time. You owe it to yourself to check out this tour, as it’s going to be one of the best things going on near you in a long time.
What saddens me greatly about this tour though, is the fact that the tour will not be coming anywhere near me. I live in Moscow, Idaho and NO ONE comes here. Not to mention anywhere near me…so that’s that. here are the tourdates to one of the best hxc tours I’ve seen in a long time:
