Summer Slaughter tour dates announced!

Awwwwww shit, the consecutive Philly and Jersey shows are in the same weekend, this could be epic. Be sure to get your tickets if this tour's coming anywhere near you; there may be a few uninspiring bands on the bill this year again, but as per usual the pros far outweigh the cons, and this show promises to be an absolute blast (beat, dur hurr). Tweet about this to all of your "friends", and stay tuned for more as always.

One love.
