Kill Your Stereo

San Diego post-hardcore rockers Hot Snakes have a history with Australia. The last time they were Down Under they recorded the live studio album, Thunder Down Under, before disbanding shortly after. It didn’t look like we’d see them again – but thankfully Hot Snakes have come out of hibernation to play select shows, including Australian headline shows and a stint at this year’s Meredith Music Festival. Ahead of their tour, Killyourstereo caught up with guitarist John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Night Marchers) for a quick chat.

Supporting the band on this run will be Sydney's For All Eternity, who released their debut album "Beyond The Gates" earlier this year, and Melbourne's Storm The Sky, who are currently out on the road with For All Eternity, In Hearts Wake and Iwrestledabearonce. The band will be releasing their new EP "Vigilance" in early 2013 to coincide with the tour. Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday November 30.
