London grunge band Tooth announces extensive autumn tour with Rotterdam stop

London grunge band Tooth have announced an extensive autumn tour in support of their debut EP 'Restless In Bloom'. The four piece, who operate in the grunge and alternative rock space, will be travelling through the UK in October and November and are also making a trip to mainland Europe.

The tour kicks off on 13 October in Glasgow at the legendary King Tut's and takes the band through cities including Newcastle, Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and Brighton. The highlight of the run is a show on 27 October at The Garage in London, the biggest headline show Tooth have played to date. The tour wraps up on 5 November at the Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes.

For Dutch music fans there is good news: on 23 and 24 October, Tooth are on the bill at Left of the Dial Festival in Rotterdam. The festival is well known for its focus on emerging indie and alternative acts, and Tooth fit that mould perfectly.

The tour follows a busy festival summer for the band. They already have shows lined up at Reading Festival and Leeds Festival, and have been added to the lineup of All Points East in London, where headliner Deftones will be closing out the evening. They also played The Lower Third in London earlier this year.

The EP 'Restless In Bloom' is the creative starting point for the tour. Frontman Tom Pollock spoke to NME previously about making the record: "It was a reflection of where my head was at then. When I was writing the lyrics, I was at that fork in the road moment when you turn 18, and you notice that your adolescence is falling behind you. You hit this strange point where there's no real certainty of what will happen in the future, but you've got to keep moving on." The band have also shared an acoustic version of the EP track 'Wallflower'. Tickets for the tour are available via presale from 12 August at 10am UK time, with general sale starting on 14 August.
