Twelve Foot Ninja suspected their live performance was sufficiently honed when they were invited to support international acts Periphery (US) and Tesseract (UK) last year, and as they put the finishing touches on their debut album, due mid-2012, you can just sense that something big is on its way.
After three years together, 137 blistering live shows, 8 festival appearances and a stack of sold-out headlining gigs, alternative rock maestros Jericco are gearing up to offer their adoring fan base a taste of things to come , just in time to coincide with 'Swarm Tour'’s commencement.
Newcomers Circles, will lend their unique take on progressive metal to the 'Swarm Tour' bill. Momentum came quickly for the 5-piece, when they caught the attention of UK's Basick Records (home to Monuments & Aliases) who promptly signed the band and released their debut EP The Compass in 2011 to critical acclaim.
