Hot off the release of their latest single Bleach Blonde and appropriately named after a lyric from the chorus in the song, This Century has proudly announced the Endless Summer Tour. The North American shows will predominately find the band across the United States, however they are crossing the border up into two of Canada’s largest music-loving cities—Toronto and Montreal.


Having played both markets before, the band is excited to return to their neighbours to the north with fellow Arizona artist and long time friend Austin Gibbs. This tour will feature a headlining set including the much anticipated live performance of Bleach Blonde, which fans can expect to hear on the upcoming record (release date TBA).

This Century celebrated the release of their 2011 full-length, Sound of Fire (Action Theory/Warner Brothers), as it debuted in the Top 40 on iTunes. The band is constantly finding ways to get new music out to their fans, including a free download project and numerous EP’s over the years. Among other noteworthy credits is their cover of M.I.A.’s Paper Planes which was included on Fearless Records’Punk Goes Pop 2.

The strength of their live set has brought them performances on Warped Tour as well as dates with Good Charlotte, Forever The Sickest Kids and Cartel just to name a few. Most recently, the band has set their sights internationally with their first ever show in the Philippines. After the Endless Summer Tour, This Century will join The Maine overseas on the European leg of the Pioneer Tour. Full of energy and the consistent promise of a great live show, This Century will hit the stage in Toronto on August 24th at Sneaky Dee’s. With the prospect of this exciting year ahead, the Endless Summer Tour is one not to be missed by veteran and newcomer This Century fans alike!

BIO:
Forming back in 2007, This Century have quickly become one of the more exciting pop/rock bands to enter the scene. With their first LP release on Action Theory/Warner Bros. entitled Sound Of Fire, the band solidified their spot amongst the top tier of the pop/rock circuit. Soon after the release, AP Magazine named the them as one of the “100 Bands You Need To Know for 2011”. Their unique combination of anthemic pop and die hard grassroots fan base has led them to extensive tour dates with the likes of Good Charlotte, The Maine, The Ready Set, Breathe Carolina, Hey Monday and many others.

The band has recently teamed up with producer Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine) to work on music for their upcoming second LP that is yet to be released. ”We’re always trying to push the limits of what a pop band can be and we feel that we strive to top ourselves each time around.” says guitarist Sean Silverman about the upcoming release. The band is gearing up for a busy year that kick-starts with their brand new single. The song is an upbeat tour de force of pop that frontman Joel Kanitz calls ”the perfect summer anthem with a larger than life sound.”

This Century has most recently seen a large rise in popularity in Southeast Asia, where their songs Sound of Fire and Everywhere, Everything have both reached #1 on top 40 radio formats and continue to receive consistent radio attention. Plans for 2012 will include a run of international dates in support of their recent success. “We really feel like we’re developing something special internationally, something completely organic and new.” says bassist Alex Silverman, “There’s an excitement surrounding it that makes you eager to find out where our amazing fans are going to take the band next.”
