Rival Schools, featuring ex-members of Quicksand, CIV, Glassjaw, and pretty much every east coast hardcore band ever, are hitting the road again in the new year. I caught the band last fall with Burning Airlines and they rocked the house. Even though the band isn't coming anywhere near me [fuckers], I figured I'd share the info. The tour launches on 1/11 in Washington, DC and ends up in Cincinnatti, OH on 1/24. Solea and Burning Brides will be supporting for about half the tour. Check out all the dates below, check out Rival Schools' webpage here and check out a review of their kickass debut, "United By Fate," here.
