MELDRUM, featuring ex-STRAPPING YOUNG LAD drummer Gene Hoglan, have announced a string of West Coast tour dates in September, in which the band will allow fans to preview tracks from their new album, entitled Lifer.
Gene Hoglan made the following statement: “Hey everybody! We’re all super-excited to announce this upcoming Meldrum tour! It’s gonna be a few selected West Coast dates, where we unveil the new lineup of rip-snortin’ bitches, and I’d love for everybody to come out and get your heads handed to ya! We’re gonna be focusing on the upcoming Lifer material which is a big step forward for the band, and we can’t wait to pummel all of ya with some heavy. We’ll see you on the road, people!”
