Somos have announced their upcoming tour with Free Throw and High Waisted, beginning August 24th at The Sinclair in Boston. The tour includes stops at Riot Fest in Denver and Chicago. Tickets for Somos’ tour will be available Friday July 8th at 12 PM eastern. Riot Fest tickets and weekend passes are now available.
Somos is touring in support of their recent sophomore album First Day Back, released on Hopeless Records in February 2016. First Day Back is now available for purchase via iTunes and on the Hopeless Records webstore.
Reflecting on the new release, vocalist and bassist Michael Fiorentino explains, “We are very proud of ‘First Day Back’. Musically, I think it represents a step forward and highlights a number of new influences and styles. In terms of lyrics, I attempted to incorporate themes of alienation and struggle but also resistance and resilience. We live in trying times, but it’s important to keep in mind that the immense challenges we face as a society exist alongside green shoots of hope. This record is dedicated to all revolutionaries and freedom fighters the world over.”
Formed in 2012 in Boston, MA, Somos consists of Michael Fiorentino (vocals/bass), Phil Haggerty (guitar), Justin Hahn (guitar), and Mike Benoit (drums). Since the release of their debut album Temple of Plenty in 2014, the east coast band has been featured with Pitchfork, Noisey, The Boston Globe, and more.
