Rounding out the bill is St. Petersburg, FL progressive rock band Decoder, Sacramento, CA post-hardcore outfit Ten After Two (whose Rise Records full-length debut Truth Is… will be released March 29) and the label’s most recent signing, Poughkeepsie, NY pop/hardcore hybrid, That’s Outrageous!
The tour kicks off May 7 in St Louis, MO and winds down June 19th in Houston, TX.
“It is such an honor to be headlining the Rise Records Tour! We were fans of the label long before we signed, & having the opportunity to represent their annual tour is a dream come true!” explains Memphis May Fire front man Matty Mullins. “The Rise Tour will start shortly after the release of our new album ‘The Hollow’ so we’re looking forward to seeing everyone sing along to the new songs at the shows! See y’all soon!”
