MEDIA RELEASE: RELEASE IMMEDIATELY
The Trews announce Australian tour!
Canada’s premier rock outfit brings their unique sound back to Australia
Acclaimed Canadian rock band The Trews are thrilled to announce that they will once again grace Australian shores for a run of dates through NSW, SA, VIC and QLD this September and October.
The Trews wowed Australian audiences with their dynamic live shows earlier this year, when they played a string of packed out residencies in Sydney and Melbourne. East Coast music lovers were shown exactly why The Trews are one of Canada’s premier live music acts, with the band delivering show after show of flawless rock.
The four-piece outfit released their fourth studio album “Hope & Ruin” Bumstead/Code One (MGM) in Australia last month and have secured extensive airplay with the title track across the Triple M network nationally and Music Max. The powerful single “Hope & Ruin” was also synched for a major network promotion that aired for the month of May on Network Ten’s digital channel ONE.
On the American release of “Hope & Ruin”, Performer Magazine hailed the band as “… without a doubt, the greatest rock band of their generation”. US music website Alternative Addiction shared a similar sentiment, saying that “The band is too good for fans of great music not to enjoy”, and promising fans that they will “… find songs on this album that you’ll love for years…”.
Australian rock website Sludge Factory recently raved about The Trews’ record and live performances, saying that “Hope & Ruin is an album of love, loss, redemption and faith. It is very polished and translates well from the kick-ass recent live show I saw them play at The Sando in Sydney”.
The Trews, who have toured with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses and KISS, are one of Canada’s hardest working and best-loved bands. They have claimed two Gold certified albums and, with “Hope & Ruin”, a huge eleven Top 10 singles including two chart –toppers.
Fresh from touring their home turf with Kid Rock, The Trews are delighted to be heading back to their ‘second home’ later this year. Be sure to catch The Trews in action, for a truly jaw-dropping live music experience!
“HOPE & RUIN” is available online and from all good record stores NOW!
