My City Screams Tours “Surroundings”

When My City Screams released their debut EP Surroundings last month they assured us a tour wouldn’t be too far away. Now the post-hardcore act from Sydney’s Northern Beaches are making good on their promise with a small run of dates.

“We’ve been itching to showcase our new music and can’t wait to hit the road on our first ever tour! To say we’re psyched would be an understatement!” the band said in a statement.

My City Screams will kick the tour off in Melbourne this week before playing shows in Sydney, Wollongong, and Liverpool for Less than Strength, a non-profit initiative which helps young people dealing with depression and anxiety.

My City Screams have a reputation for energetic shows, and I imagine they’ll be especially pumped on their first tour. See why they’re generating such buzz at the following gigs.

7 June 2012 – Next, Melbourne
9 June 2012 – SFX, Sydney
16 June 2012 – The Lair, Sydney
17 June 2012 – Yours and Owls, Wollongong
26 June 2012 – Luck Oz Tavern, St Marys
7 July 2012 – Liverpool PCYC (LTS Benefit Show)
14 July 2012 – The Bald Faced Stag, Sydney

My City Screams Releases “Surroundings” EP

Sydney post hard-core outfit My City Screams released their long awaited new EP, Surroundings, to iTunes today.

The mini-album features six full throttle tracks including the first single “Counterparts.” The band says this sophomore EP is their biggest achievement to date. It shows a band that’s matured since recording their debut, No Mirrors, No Reflections, and notching up plenty of live experience. Their trademark energetic sound, with big guitar breaks and heavy hitting bass, is there, but it’s more seasoned this time around.

My City Screams will back up the EP release with a national tour in June. Watch this space for dates!
