RAINS To Support BLACK STONE CHERRY, CAVO On US Tour
January 18, 2012, 12 years ago
Nascent rockers RAINS have been confirmed as support for BLACK STONE CHERRY and CAVO on their upcoming American tour, kicking off on February 1st. After wrapping up a massive trek with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, ALL THAT REMAINS and HATEBREED last year, Rains is ready to kick off the New Year with the first run of a very busy 2012 touring schedule. Please see below for tour dates. More Rains tour dates will be announced shortly.
Rains has been introducing the nation to their poignant, emotive, melodic hard rock sound with songs from their self-released debut album, Stories. After a Top 50 debut at Active Rock, Rains' latest single, 'Look In My Eyes', is climbing the chart with adds at WIIL/Chicago, WJJO/Madison and more; the track also recently broke in to the Top 10 on Octane/Sirius/XM and iHeartRadio. The video for 'Look In My Eyes' can be seen below:
Hailing from a small town in northern Indiana, lead singer/guitarist/band namesake Jeff Rains and company are making a name for themselves the old-fashioned way, with hard work and determination, winning over supporters one at a time. In true DIY fashion, with no support from a traditional record label, the first single from Stories, 'Liar', cracked the Top 15 of Sirius/XM's Octane channel, causing hard rock music fans to take notice.
Rains is Jeff Rains (lead vocals/guitar), Jason Anderson (guitar/backing vocals), Matt Hopkins (bass) and Joe Schultz (drums).
