Hell Is For Heroes for Kerrang! tour

Hell Is For Heroes have signed up for a series of intimate K!-sponsored 'Most Wanted!' shows at Barfly venues up and down the UK.

They will play Cardiff on June 18, Liverpool 19, York Fibbers 20, Birmingham 21, Glasgow 22, Brighton 24 and London 25 with support on all dates from abrasive Icelandic foursome Gavin Portland. Finnish post-hardcore foursome Disco Ensemble will be main support from June 18-21 with Hampshire teens Enjoy Destroy completing the tour.

The tour will be a chance for fans to hear songs from their forthcoming, self-titled album.

'Hell Is For Heroes' was produced by guitarist Will McGonagle and, according to vocalist Justin Schlosberg, the experience of working alone made the recording process feel "purer".

"At first, it felt like we were wearing a blindfold and jumping off a cliff," Schlosberg tells Kerrang!. "But it turned out great and streamlined the way we work. To me, it felt a little purer not having another person telling you how you should sound. We can't wait to play the new songs live.

"We love intimate shows because it's frustrating having a big gap between the stage and the audience," he adds. "We can't wait for this tour."

The K! 'Most Wanted!' shows are open to people aged 14 years and over. Tickets cost £9, except in London, where they're£10. They can be purchased online from www.aloud.com or by calling 0870 998 8888.

'Hell Is For Heroes' will be released on June 11 via Golf.
