Brighton via Minneapolis pop-punks As It Is are set to tour the UK alongside emo duo This Wild Life. Both bands will be joined by Canadian pop punks Seaway and British five-piece Boston Manor. As It Is will be touring in support of their forthcoming debut album, ‘Never Happy, Ever After’.
“It felt only right to be touring the new album material for the first time in the UK, and to give back to the fans that have been with us from the very start,” says vocalist Patty Walters. “This is the ultimate lineup for a massive singalong party, and I genuinely can’t wait to kick this thing off. We’re all so excited to be co-headlining with This Wild Life, a band like us singing sad lyrics over catchy tunes. With the rise of the UK pop punk scene well and truly afoot, we wanted to bring along a band we’ve loved and wanted to tour with for a while now, Boston Manor. And it’s awesome to be able to bring over Seaway all the way from Canada for extra fun as well. Basically, I have nothing but massive expectations for this tour!”
Boston Manor, As It Is and Seaway are featured on our ‘Acts To Watch in 2015‘ list. Tickets for the tour are available from Monday.
