The last time we saw Cymbals Eat Guitars in July 2015, we reported that the band mentioned that this may be their last performance because the singer / guitarist Joseph D’Agostino was going back to school. Perhaps it didn’t happen yet, but the band is back now on tour.



Cymbals Eat Guitars’ fourth album Pretty Years is out now. The new record was inspired by Springsteen, 70’s Bowie, The Smiths, The Cure, and Neil Young.



Field Mouse and Wildhoney will open.
