The good news: The recently completed Animals As Leaders album is coming next year. The bad news: the band is dropping off their upcoming tour with Dance Gavin Dance.
The band cited unforeseen circumstances as their reason for pulling out, stating:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be withdrawing ourselves from the Dance Gavin Dance Afterburner Tour. Apologies to any fans who were planning on seeing us on the tour, but we’ll be returning to all these cities on a scheduled headline tour with new music for next year.”
Animals As Leaders completed their new album earlier this month. The album was, at least in part, produced by Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor.
