In the past, we’ve sent out press releases saying Cruel Hand is on tour forever… we weren’t kidding. Today, the band announced that they’ll be headlining their own “Back To School Jam” tour with support from A Loss For Words, The Greenery and Maker this coming September and October. Cruel Hand just wrapped up shows in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Prior to that, the band toured all across Europe, then hit the West Coast and Rain Fest.
It’s been a hell of a year for Cruel Hand since the release of Lock & Key in July of 2010 and the band will continue to pound the pavement in support of it. Lock & Key has been hailed as “a gift from the gods” by Decoy Music and has cemented the band as “one of the hardest touring up-and-coming hardcore acts” (Blistering). Real talk.
