Lanterns. – U.S. Summer Tour Starts Today (July 08 – Aug 08)
* In support of Apocalypse Youth
——————————————————-
Rising triumphantly from the hollowed indie rock grounds of San Diego, Lanterns. is set to embark on a sort of plan-as-you-go U.S. Summer tour adventure beginning today.
In late 2008 the band released, Apocalypse Youth, a fiery collection of noisy pop songs. As the opening chords of distortion ring out and the drums build to a sharp climax, there is a genuine feeling of excitement, and Lanterns do nothing to quell that anticipation across the EP’s raging sound. The California four piece washes its songs in waves of glorious feedback. Yet, buried beneath the surface lay shards of melody that penetrate the listener. With anthemic guitars and powerful, thought-provoking lyrics, Lanterns is a beacon of hope in this crowded musical landscape.
Listen to “Creation Myth” (mp3)
