Somos have announced that they will be dropping off of the February Dads tour that will be going around the midwest and east coast in February citing mental health as the reason.
Over the past year, the band has played Riot Fest, Fest 13, toured with bands like Modern Baseball, signed to No Sleep Records and released Temple of Plenty, their freshman LP.
The band writes:
We have some unfortunate news to share: we are no longer on the February tour with Dads and Roger Harvey. Dropping a tour is a tough thing to do, and I just want to be very open about why we came to this decision. I have struggled with anxiety and depression, and it eventually built up to the point where touring in February was daunting and unmanageable. I recently started to get serious about treatment, but we want to have a few months off while I pursue the goal of dramatically improving my mental health.
We plan on continuing to tour and make music, once I take the proper time to address my mental health. We sincerely apologize to Dads and Roger Harvey, as well as to anyone who bought advance tickets.
