San Jose rock band Stickup Kid has announced a string of west coast tour dates in support of their just released new LP ‘Soul Drive.’
Regarding the new album Tony Geravesh (vocalist) says, “Soul Drive is that “bridge” record for our band. After some success as teenagers, moving into adulthood and finishing college wasn’t a cake walk by any means. At some point, doing more than one thing in life is just impossible. We all had to place music aside to hash life out – we were all going through individual growing pains, and as friends and band mates, we struggled to see eye to eye. Eventually we broke through to the other side. We came back together from what felt like opposite ends of the world. Our communication improved, our goals aligned, none of us listened to the same kind of music anymore but it was a special feeling jamming again – like we opened a chest full of new sounds and potential. Soul Drive was that chest, the realization of “wow, we can be so much more than just another generic pop punk band”. There was this hunger in everyone’s heart to be the best and the humble attitude to reach that goal.
The band will hit 9 US cities, kicking things off with a show in Fresno, CA on May 24. The trek runs through June 2rd. Glacier Veins and Till I Fall will support on all dates.
