STRAPPING YOUNG LAD

Canadian extremists STRAPPING YOUNG LAD recently came off of a highly successful headlining U.S. tour with The Agony Scene, Misery Signals and Reflux, a strong European festival trek and proceeded to embark on the massive Sounds of The Underground tour this past week. The group’s genre-defying, breakthrough new album, Alien, has been met with tons of mainstream acclaim and is already being hailed as the best offering yet.

Townsend checks in with the following report: “The first part of our touring cycle is over, so we'd like to thank everyone who came out and for all their support. There are a lot of tours going on now, so we really appreciate it. It was great to play the new material and we feel we did a good job putting it across. We just completed some cool European festivals and are excited to be a part of the Sounds Of The Underground tour. Also, ESP guitars have been really great to us; we contributed some tracks to an upcoming Melvins tribute, and we may be doing another video. Metal's on the rise and keep rockin!”
