News: Atticus Beer Tour with Decade & Light You Up
December 24, 2012“Atticus Beer – Never Go Quietly”
“Light You Up are a superbly energetic ball of melody, and hint at a grandiosity beyond their young years.” Kerrang
“Decade have some positively enormous anthems.” Rock Sound
Atticus Beer, the world’s first global Rock n’ Roll Beer Brand brought to you from the now legendary music inspired clothing brand Atticus (originally founded by the mighty Blink 182) is proud to present a joint-headline bill in March 2013 featuring two of the UK’s fastest rising pop punk acts: Birmingham’s leading pop-punk export Light You Up and Bath based pop-punk powerhouse Decade. Full dates and details can be found below.
After smashing their way onto the UK touring circuit in 2012, both bands have been causing a stir in the press with regular features in Rock Sound and Kerrang! magazine as well as firing new passion for the homegrown scene amongst UK pop punk fans. Meeting properly on their October tour with A Loss For Words and Save Your Breath, they made an instant connection over their love of music and took the next logical step of booking in a joint UK tour culminating in an appearance by both bands at Radstock Festival 2013 alongside The Blackout, We Are The Ocean, Don Broco and more.
“We’re stoked to be touring with our good friends in Light You Up again” says Decade front man Alex Sears “We had the pleasure of touring with them in October with AL4W and Save Your Breath and they are an incredible live band and a great bunch of dudes!”
“We are so stoked to get back out on the road, and it will be a great time hanging with our buddies in Decade” adds Light You Up guitarist Drew Masters “We’ve been blown away by the response to our “Broken Jaw” EP so we can’t wait to get out in people’s faces and see it for ourselves. It’s the perfect start to 2013 for us.”
“Atticus has always been about supporting the new bands that we love watching and hanging out with” says Tony Arthy of Atticus Beer “For us, that’s exactly what this tour is about.”
Decade have just finished recording their long awaited debut album with Romesh Dodangoda (The Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses, Lost Prophets) set for a spring 2013 release and Light You Up are set to record their full length in the US during summer 2013.
