With their third studio album officially set to drop in August, Welsh rock band Holding Absence will be heading out on tour later this year, starting out on November 3rd in Eindhoven in the Netherlands and finishing up at the O2 Institute Birmingham on November 28th.
They recently released a taste of what’s to come from their third album The Noble Art of Self Destruction in the form of False Dawn, and it has to be said that they’re sounding as huge as ever. Lucas Woodland’s vocals continue to sound absolutely beautiful, instrumentally they remain excellent, and this European tour should provide for an absolute treat of oral excellence from a band that has fast become my favourite UK artist in a long time.
