What's that I hear pounding inexorably nearer and nearer? What can make the syringes quiver in our hands, the scum stir in their puddles of sick? Why, it's college rock revivalists Blood on the Wall come to preach to us, snare-drum hearts swelling and down-tuned lips turned up. The tour's in support of Liferz, their third full-length and second to feature a title that spurns conventional grammar--what bad boys (and girl)! The album is to be unleashed January 22 via The Social Registry.

You can also expect fellow drug-rock machine Black Mountain to join the itinerants for some shows. Here's the damage:
