The Hounds Below will embark on a North American tour. Dubbed the Pizza Tour 2014, the tour (which starts up this week) will find the Michigan-based three-piece playing over 30 shows coast to coast over the next two months. This will include their first West Coast shows in support of the album You Light Me Up In The Dark (Slimstyle Records).
While still touring behind their 2012 full-length effort, the band’s live set will primarily consist of brand-new material! Jason Stollsteimer (vocals/guitar) reveals “though the new material still has strong melodic hooks, it’s shaping up to be more aggressive sounding than even my work in The Von Bondies.” A taste of what’s to come is on display with “Xx,” which the band released this month as a free digital track.

In addition to Stollsteimer, The Hounds Below includes Will Shattuck (drums/vocals) and Adam Michael Lee Padden (bass/vocals). Prior to this run, the group has racked up an impressive show history, shaing stages with the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Airborne Toxic Event, Butch Walker, The Whigs, ASH, The Cribs, The Heavy, Band Of Skulls and many others. Musically packed with melodic rock delivered with post-punk urgency, You Light Me Up In The Dark was championed by such media tastemakers as The A.V. Club, MTV Buzzworthy, Consequence Of Sound, and American Songwriter. Confirmed dates for the Pizza Tour 2014 are below (with more to be announced) and news of the band’s forthcoming album will follow shortly.
