Wild Beasts Bring 'Smother' to Canada on North American Tour

News Jun 27 2011

By Alex HudsonWhen Wild Beasts released the Exclaim!-approved Smother this spring, we promised you that "the afterglow of this third album will stay with you for a very long time." Soon, you'll have a chance to bask in that afterglow when the arty British rock ensemble come through Canada on their upcoming North American tour.

Following a brief run of East Coast shows next month, Wild Beasts will return to our side of the Atlantic in September for a month-long fall outing. This includes Canadian stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
