To support The Ghost Inside – 3rd July 2021 – O2 Academy, Brixton
+ Play 2000 Trees Festival – 10th July
The deluxe version of their debut album ‘The World Is In Your Way’
Will be released on 13th November via Mascot Records
Seattle punks Dragged Under have just announced their first UK shows. They will be supporting The Ghost Inside on the metalcore titans incredible sold out comeback show on 3rd July 2021 at the O2 Academy Brixton, London and will also be playing 2000 Trees Festival on 10 July.
Talking about the shows frontman Tony Cappocchi says; “For many of us, traveling to the UK was always on our bucket list but we weren’t sure we’d ever get to actually do it, so to be able to have our music take us to the other side of the world to play festivals we’ve only ever dreamt of attending is humbling. We can’t wait to get over there and check out all that the UK has to offer, and eat beans for breakfast.”
They will be releasing a deluxe version of their debut album The World Is In Your Way, with two bonus tracks – ‘Just Like Me’ and ‘Feel It’ – via their new home Mascot Records, on 13th November.
Tony Cappocchi [vocals], Ryan Bruce [guitar], Sean Rosario [guitar], Hans Hessburg [bass], and Kalen Anderson [drums] strike an elusive balance between thrashed-up punk, pit-splitting hardcore, technical metal, and hooky alternative.
Tony and Ryan initially cut their teeth in Washington underground favourite Rest Repose and inspired by fellow genre-breakers Beartooth and Cave In, their vision for Dragged Under crystallized. In between touring with The Used and Dead American, they independently unveiled The World Is In Your Way in January this year. Generating seven million streams to-date, and receiving acclaim from Alternative Press, Rock Sound, Loudwire and more, the group’s 2020 full-length debut floods the game with a fresh fire as it tosses and turns amidst emotional extremes.
“Life, social media, the news, and cancel culture can all drag you under,” Cappocchi states. “We’re embracing the fact the world is trying to pull us down. People may try to stop you from succeeding. They’re in your way. Once you get them out of your way, you can truly take over. The only person you can rely on is yourself. There’s no minority smaller than the individual.”
