Millencolin to tour with This Is A Standoff and The Briggs

Swedish skate-punk pioneers Millencolin are bringing their energetic brand of rock back to the States in March wrapping up a year-long tour that has taken them back and forth across Europe and down to Australia in support of their most recent Epitaph release Machine 15. Canadian dates are supported by This Is A Standoff and the US shows are supported by The Briggs.

Machine 15 - Millencolin's seventh studio album - harkens back to earlier, poppy works, notably their 2000 break-out Pennybridge Pioneers (produced by Epitaph CEO/Bad Religion founding guitarist Brett Gurewitz), garnering the band rave reviews from across the globe:

"Seventh album exists in a world of sunshine, skateboards and easy-on-the-ear shiny polished pop-punk" NME

"Irresistible harmonies, crystal clear guitar and see-your-face-in-it production" Kerrang

With nearly two million albums sold worldwide and past appearances with the likes of Blink 182 and the Foo Fighters, the Orebro-based quartet still haven't let success go to their heads. Don't miss Sweden's merriest export Millencolin:
