SOFTCULT announce North American headlining tour ahead of debut album release

TORONTO BREAKOUT BAND SOFTCULT ANNOUNCE UPCOMING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY THE TWIN DUO RECENTLY WRAPPED PRODUCTION ON THEIR HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED DEBUT FULL-LENGTH photo by David Arn Toronto breakthrough band Softcult has spent the last six months in their home studio, meticulously crafting and pouring their souls into their long-awaited full-length debut.  But before they share it with the world, the twin duo of Mercedes (she/her) and Phoenix (they/them) Arn-Horn will bring their unapologetic, politically-charged sound to the US just when we need it most. Mercedes shares: "We're excited to finally play some new songs from our upcoming record, especially at a time where the need for community, equality, and solidarity is more important than ever. These songs are some of our favorites that we've ever written, speaking on issues that are very important to us, and we can't wait to share them with you all." "We're proud to create safe spaces where everyone is welcome at our shows–– except the hateful bigots, duh. We're going to be playing a mix of old favorites and new material. We're really looking forward to feeling the energy of how they come across in a live atmosphere for the first time."

It landed them on the cover of Spotify's MARROW playlist (over 4.7 million followers), and brought them on tour across North America, UK, Europe, Australia & Southeast Asia. Born in the studio and free from the industry's constraints, Softcult has been busy carving out their own universe. They've been championed by artists like Hayley Williams and Oli Sykes, opened for massive bands like Incubus and MUSE, and highlighted as a band to watch by Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Paste, Consequence, Alternative Press, Kerrang!, CBC, The Gay Times, and more.  And they do it all themselves––Phoenix leads production, engineering, and artwork, while Mercedes writes, produces, directs and edits their deeply personal and impactful videos. Embracing a fully DIY ethos, they create and produce their own monthly zine, SCripture, and remain actively engaged with their fan community through the Softcult Discord server.
