EXCLUSIVE: Creative Adult Unveil New Single & Aussie Tour Dates

Ascendant San Franciscan post-punks Creative Adult have considerably beefed up their impending Australian sojourn for this year's Poison City Weekender, unveiling a run of local headline dates alongside brand new single Heal, premiering exclusively on The Music today.

The churning, reverb-soaked track comes ahead of the band's eagerly awaited second studio full-length, Fear Of Life, which is due out early next month (via Run For Cover Records/Cooking Vinyl Australia), and also precedes an ambitious world tour that now includes several standalone shows alongside their Poison City commitments; fans will be able to catch the band from Wednesday 7 September, when they kick off their Australian run at Adelaide's Metro Hotel.

Their next three engagements from there are in Melbourne, encompassing both the Prekender Party at the Reverence Hotel (8 September) and the sold-out Weekender Fest itself (Saturday 10 September) in addition to a headline showing at Gasometer on 11 September. 

Creative Adult's Aussie run also includes performances in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Sydney again (for I Love Life Festival) and Canberra, where they round out their tour at Lacklustre HQ on Sunday 18 September.

The band has only been a going concern since 2012 but, in that short time, they've established themselves as a force with which to be reckoned, self-releasing their debut EP that year before being snapped up by venerated stable Run For Cover Records in time for their second release, the Bulls In The Yard EP, in 2013. They've since released a debut full-length — 2014's Deep End — and a third EP (Ring Around The Room, 2015), in addition to splits with their contemporaries in Self Defense Family and Wild Moth.

Unsurprisingly, they approach their Australian tour with massive momentum and considerable critical buzz behind them, and the raw energy and infectious riffs and earnest arrangement of Heal — and all that has preceded it (and, likely, all that is yet to come) — goes a long way towards explaining why that is.

Tickets for Creative Adult's impending Australian sojourn will go on sale from 9am this Friday, 8 July, via Oztix.
