Johnny Truant announce epic month-long UK headline tour

Brighton brutalists Johnny Truant, fresh from their allegedly storming set at the Download festival, are not the sort to rest on their laurels. No sirree – they’re about to set off on a month-long jaunt around the country, playing pretty much every town with a venue that they can fit into.

Hot on the heels of their recent album No Tears For The Creatures, Johnny Truant will be touring in the company of Throats (1st to 12th July) and Blackhole (12th to 31st July), so you can expect uncompromising metalcore heaviness all the way.

That’s an epic mission, and no mistake. I reckon Johnny truant will have the energy, though, if this video of them playing “Death Rides” in some dingy warehouse is anything to go by:

If you liked that, there’s more to hear on the Johnny Truant MySpazz page; there’s a grown-up’s website too, but it’s not quite finished yet, by the looks of it.
