CNTS, the Los Angeles-band featuring members of Dead Cross, Retox and Qui, have announced the Thoughts & Prayers tour, a seven-week U.S. outing that begins on May 9 in Chico, Calif. “Brace yourself, America! CNTS is hitting the road, playing coast to coast,” guitar player Michael Crain shares. “We’re looking forward to seeing all of you and getting a chance to play songs from the new album.”
Tickets for all shows are on-sale now, with ticketing links available via Ipecac.com/tours.
CNTS recently released their second full-length album, Thoughts & Prayers (https://cnts.lnk.to/tap), via Ipecac Recordings. Punk News said it “hits hard,” MetalSucks described it as “a noisy, punky kick in the teeth,” and Consequence noted that the new music “adds a level of realness and believability that is all but absent from a lot of modern, studio-sterilized punk rock.”
