WAR TAPES
ANNOUNCE SUMMER TOUR WITH VNV NATION

BAND TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM ‘THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE’ MAY 26
VIA SARATHAN RECORDS

As the summer season approaches, WAR TAPES—Neil Popkin (singer/rhythm guitar), his sister Becca Popkin (bass), Matt Bennett (lead guitar) and William Mohler (drums)—have just confirmed they will join alternative electronic rock and industrial icons VNV Nation on a 23-date North American run.  At these shows, WAR TAPES will bring to the masses their self-proclaimed “heart-quaking doom pop,” timeless melodies, anthemic choruses and arena-ready sound as featured on their May 26 debut long-player THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE (Sarathan Records).  

The tour will kick off on June 27 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles and take the Los Angeles foursome across the states to clubs and theatres including The Grand Ballroom in San Francisco, The Showbox in Seattle, House of Blues in Chicago, Nokia Theatre in New York, Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale and Granada Theatre in Dallas. The tour will wrap in Phoenix, AZ at the Marquee Theatre.

Meanwhile, fans of WAR TAPES can also catch their appearance on the ABC Family TV series “GREEK” June 15, as they perform their songs “Always Falling” and “Dreaming Of You” in a scene as the band at a frat party.  The early buzz on War Tapes has earned the band airplay on such tastemaker radio stations as BBC Radio 1 and Live 105 in San Francisco, while “Dreaming of You” was aired on NBC’s “New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly.” To support the tour and album release, Sarathan Records will begin the WAR TAPES radio campaign with a special radio sampler going to Modern Rock Specialty Shows around the album release date. The sampler will include "Dreaming Of You," "The Night Unfolds," "Use Me" and "All The World's A Stage."
