Eager to connect with fans on the road in 2022, Asking Alexandria founding member Ben Bruce stated, “This spring and summer we are finally getting back to doing what we love. We are finally hitting the road again and we will be bringing our biggest stage show yet with us. Asking Alexandria and our friends in NOTHING MORE will be teaming up and co-headlining across North America alongside Atreyu and Eva Under Fire. We have missed playing for you all so much and we can’t wait to get back out there and see you all. We will be playing songs from the very beginning of our career all the way through to our latest album See What’s On theInside. See you all soon.”
In 2017, NOTHING MORE released The Stories We Tell Ourselves, which received critical acclaim and three Grammy Award nominations for Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for “Go to War”. Having topped Billboard’s US Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, “Go to War” has amassed more than 60 MILLION streams across streaming platforms. The Stories We Tell Ourselves has seen more than 156 MILLION streams, according to Spotify, and was ranked as the second best hard rock album of 2017 by Loudwire. On returning to the stage and today’s announcement, NOTHING MORE’s Jonny Hawkins said, “We have been in a dark cocoon of our innermost thoughts and feelings for 2 damned years … shifting, shaping and transforming into a creature filled with terrible power and an unregulated
lust for energy. This is going to be our greatest album yet… and this tour with Asking Alexandria is just the beginning. Be ready America.”
Detroit-based, female-fronted rock band Eva Under Fire, who are set to open the tour, recently released “Unstoppable”, a passion-filled track about an untouchable love, ahead of their label debut album Love, Drugs & Misery, available for pre-order now. It followed three previously released songs from the album – “Blow (Featuring Spencer Charnas of IceNine Kills)”, “Comatose (Featuring Jonathan Dörr of Ego Kill Talent)”,and “Heroin(e)”– which gave a dynamic preview of the forthcoming project, spanning from anthemic and aggressive to heartbreakingly vulnerable, in both sound and lyrics.

ABOUT ASKING ALEXANDRIA
Since 2008, Asking Alexandria have established a world of rock music that is completely their own. Now, over a BILLION cumulative streams and views later, with a new label behind them – the band signed a global deal with in 2021 – the U.K-based rock group are readying their next chapter.
Composed today of their original line-up – Ben Bruce [guitar, backing vocals], Danny Worsnop [lead vocals], James Cassells [drums], Cameron Liddell [guitar], and Sam Bettley [bass] – the band has arrived at a place of clarity and refreshed sense of artistic purpose. In the early months of 2021, all five members found themselves hunkered down in a house in Franklin, TN, to write and record their new seventh studio album. It was the first time in over a decade that all were together in the same studio. Armed with a new sense of dedication to themselves and to their fans, they went back to their roots and pulled inspiration from some of their earliest influences and musical heroes – Led Zeppelin, Metallica, AC/DC, and Queen. With time to reflect on their journey thus far they began preparing their next steps forward as a band. With no gimmicks or cheap tricks to fall back on and a renewed appetite for writing together, they fell in love again, with music and with each other as band mates.
In the band’s 10+ years as a worldwide touring and recording force, they have achieved unprecedented success earmarked by two gold-certified singles (namely, “Final Episode (Let’s Change The Channel)”and “Not The American Average”) and three consecutive top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200—Reckless & Relentless [2011], From Death to Destiny [2013], and The Black [2016]. In addition to headlining packed gigs on five continents, they’ve graced stages alongside Guns N’ Roses, GreenDay, Avenged Sevenfold, Alice In Chains, and Slipknot, to name a few. 2017’s self-titled LP Asking Alexandria spawned two of the group’s biggest singles to date: “Alone In A Room” (60 million Spotifystreams) and “Into the Fire” (50 million Spotify streams). And most recently, they saw critical acclaim with their 2020 sixth full-length studio album LikeAHouseOnFire.
The result of this reflection and renewed creative energy is the band’s most cohesive and self-assured record to date. The project’s first single, the poignantly powerful, guitar-driven “Alone Again” was written by the entire band and is a fitting first offering of the sonic journey on which the world is about to join them. But beyond its moving lyrics and soaring melodies, it is a rally cry and a statement of a group of artists who are here to stay and ready more than ever to be heard. The track is now out-streaming their biggest hit, “Alone In A Room.”

ABOUT ATREYU
ATREYU ushered in a new movement in heavy music. Their music seamlessly intertwines with formative experiences for a diverse legion of dedicated listeners, many of whom started their own bands. They’ve broken into the Top 10 in the Billboard 200 more than once; two of their albums are certified gold. Yet, two decades since the release of their first album, ATREYU is just getting started.
Unbound by false restrictions about any particular anthem sounding “too heavy” or “too pop,” ATREYU is a creative beacon of hope for the people shaken by the suggestion that “rock is dead.” The Orange County, California band’s riffs, hooks, melodies, and passion are essential parts of a vibrant subculture’s emergence across theaters, clubs, festivals, radio, and playlists. Atreyu remain one of the scene’s most vital and vibrant bands. They have just come off a Top 10 radio hit with “Warrior” featuring Travis Barker. They are approaching 500 million career dreams in the U.S. and 2 million albums sold. Their latest album Baptize has clocked 65 million streams alone.
ABOUT EVA UNDER FIRE
If you think rock n’ roll fairy tales are a thing of the past, you haven’t met Eva Under Fire. These Detroit rock upstarts got their start five years ago and instantly began cutting their teeth in the underground rock scene, building an enthusiastic fan base the old-fashioned way. However the band’s trajectory shifted
toward the stratosphere when they sent an unsolicited demo to , who recognized the band’s hybrid of rock, metal, pop and classic rock as something wholly unique.
That said, it took a lot of hard work for them to get to this point. The group’s roots go back to 2015 when Eva, guitarists Chris Slapnik and Rob Lyberg, bassist Ed Joseph and drummer Corey Newsom, decided to get together and write music that represented their diverse set of influences. The chemistry clicked and after releasing a well received full-length and two EPs, the band signed to Better Noise and spent the past two years working on their next album, their most ambitious and fully realized release to date.
