MUTINY WITHIN, who are currently on the road supporting ARCH ENEMY in the US in January alongside EXODUS and ARSIS, have issued the following tour update.

Tour Diary #1:

"What’s up guys, AJ here checking in for week 1 of our North American tour with Arch Enemy! We’re in Canada right now, on our way to Montreal to play Club Soda. We’ve done four shows so far and it’s been killer. Nokia Theater in NYC was the best show we’ve ever been a part of, thanks to everyone who came out!

Anyway, we’re in Canada right now and we went to a bar. We’re in Montreal, to be specific, and we’re very drunk right now…

This place is awesome and we’ve only been here for a few hours. The hotel bathrooms are extra small, we can’t even fit in them to take a shower. Drinks are pretty much the same price, except they give us Canadian money as our change, very interesting. But otherwise, the city seems pretty cool and we’ve met some really chill Canadians so far, haha. Can’t wait to play for them tomorrow night!

Our tour manager, Tommy Jones, is especially enjoying his day off today. By the way, he’s one of the hardest working guys here. He deals with everything behind the scenes, nobody has a clue. Because he does all of that, we’re able to concentrate on just playing the best show that we can, night after night.

So anyway, Tommy has had a few too many Southern Comfort and Cokes tonight, is my point.

Chris made me try some English beers tonight. I can’t remember the name of any of them, but they tasted quite good. Chris was happy to be at this Irish pub in Montreal, said it reminds him of his home in England. They have pubs there within walking distance of their houses, how cool is that?

As a joke, we were going to try this idea to have a running story to post on our sites, where each person in the band adds a line. So I started with 'So Jim was late to school, so he ran down the stairs and put on his shoes'. Then Bill added, 'But then Jim realized that his shoes were full of yogurt.' That’s when we decided to stop, haha, it would've gotten too crazy. Maybe we'll revisit that idea this week....
