Cage the Elephant, Silversun Pickups, Foals, and Bear Hands are ready to venture out on a 15-city U.S. arena tour called Spring Fling. The four acts mentioned are some of the nation’s top alt-rock acts currently out. Tickets for Spring Fling Rock Festival will be available for purchase beginning this Friday, January 15th at 10:00 AM.
Cage the Elephant recently released their fourth album, Tell Me I’m Pretty. The band has consistently received praise for their work from critics and fans alike. Rolling Stone Magazine calls their latest, “their best yet”. The garage rock band are forging ahead with their creativity and strong rock melodies that helped land Pretty at number 3 in the Billboard Top Rock Albums.
Silversun Pickups have been carving out their own audience as well. The band has been building on their sound since 2005’s Pikul EP and have been growing ever since. The band’s insatiable sound keeps alternative rock to forefront once again. “It’s going to be so fun to be able to play with these bands who are like family to us,” said Silversun Pickups’ lead singer Brian Aubert. “We’re all going to keep each other on the top of our game. A great game. Let the games begin.”
The UK’s Foals combine pop and rock effortlessly on their most recent disc, What Went Down. Their single “Mountain at My Gates” is an inescapable tune with pop power rock chorus.
Brooklyn’s Bear Hands formed in 2006 by college friends and is backed by strong screamo vocals thanks in part to lead vocalist Dylan Rau. Think Twenty One Pilots with an edge.
