Wasted Theory announced their 2018 tour and festival appearance dates that will stretch across the United States, including their first West Coast shows. The Mid-Atlantic quartet is touring to support their recent signing with Italy's Argonauta Records and the "2017 Edition" re-issue of their "Defenders Of The Riff" second full-length album.The 2017 reissue now includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks.
"The Stoned On Both Coasts Tour" began February 2nd with back-to-back shows in their home states. Now preparing to fly high through Northern California in March, these four heathens of the heavy rock apocalypse will blaze through 12 states and 20+ cities. Wasted Theory will also perform at two special festival appearances - April 20th for the inaugural New England Stoner & Doom Festival in Connecticut, as well as the Stoned To Death 3 Festival in Vermont on May 26th.
While the original 2016 release of "Defenders Of The Riff" drove the underground heavy music world into whiskey fits of doom, this "2017 Edition" reissue now includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks. With the antithetic cover of "Rockin' is Ma' Business" (the 1991 epitome of heavy rock from The Four Horseman, also covered by Alabama Thunderpussy in 1999), and a thoroughly invigorated rendition of the 1975 Nazareth classic "Changin' Times", adding these two powerhouse songs to the already 10-track, grit-packed punch of "Defenders Of The Riff" brings the album to a even dirtier dozen.
