ollowing on from their blistering set at Damnation Festival, British Pioneers of down-tuned epic sludge rock, Raging Speedhorn, are set to hit the road this week. The tour, all but two dates of which are sold out, will mark the 25-year anniversary of the release of the band’s self-titled debut. The band will be supported on the tour by sonic reprobates Mastiff.
Speaking about the tour, drummer Gordon Morison said:
“We’re happy to announce that we’re going to be hitting the road in November to play four intimate shows to celebrate 25 years of our first record. Support will be the amazing Mastiff. Hope to see you all there to party with us!”
ard To Kill” was released during the global pandemic on the band’s own label Red Weed Records. Navigating the difficulties that ensued during that time, “Hard To Kill” was RSH’s biggest release in years and made numerous UK chart appearances: #11 Rock & Indie Chart, #7 Indie Breakers Chart, #26 indie charts, and #95 physical charts – the first time the band had chart success since 2001 – all without the backing of a record label!
Having started in their original hometown of Corby, while its members are now spread across the Midlands and South Wales, the teenage spirit of rebellion and kicking against the pricks still lies in the heart of Raging Speedhorn.
The dates for the tour are:
20th – Craufurd Arms – Milton Keynes
21st – Bournemouth – The Anvil – Sold Out
22nd – London – Black Heart – Sold Out
23rd – London – The Black Heart – Sold Out
