The Boston boys of Somos are heading back on tour and they’re bringing pop-punk friends Free Throw and surf-pop group High Waisted with them. The tour includes Riot Fest dates as well.
In support of their record First Day Back, which was released in February via Hopeless Records, 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.”
