Pomona, California thrash sensations BONDED BY BLOOD played across the UK last year as part of the Thrashing Like A Maniac tour, and now the band are back in the UK.

Bonded By Blood are kicking off a string of headlining shows tonight in Glasgow, before heading out to Europe for a full-scale European tour.

Frontman Jose Aladdin Barrales had this to say: "We can't wait to be back in the UK. Last time we were there it was amazing. This time around should be even better!"
