2017 got off to a flying start for Astroid Boys, releasing new track Foreigners which is currently sitting at over 150,000 views on YouTube and things are looking to get even better as today Astroid Boys announce a string of UK live dates starting in April! After gaining a big following on the underground scene since forming in 2012, rising rock/grime collective Astroid Boys, who hail from Cardiff’s CF10 area code, have partnered with Music for Nations (Sony) as the label’s first signing since being recently re-launched. Comprising Traxx (MC), Benji (MC), DJ Comfort (DJ), Dellux (producer) and Big H (drums), Astroid Boys have created something new and exciting, which was the intention when co-frontman Traxx started the band in 2012, wanting to merge his past as a punk kid with his transition into grime in his late teens. With the band sitting comfortably between grime and punk/hardcore, their sound fuses together multiple sub-cultures and perspectives—a growth that defines them less as a band and more as a voice for the youth. Not many artists can say they’ve supported Trash Talk and Deez Nuts, as well as Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Skepta and Stormzy, but Astroid Boys have taken their live show to the urban and metal scenes across the UK. Along with an impressive list of tour supports under their belt, they’ve played at Reading & Leeds Festival, Download Festival and T in the Park, as well as festivals in mainland Europe, including Block Party Festival and With Full Force Festival in Germany. LIVE DATES 28th April – Hit The North Festival, Newcastle 2nd May – Music Hall, Ramsgate 3rd May – The Horn, St Albans 4th May – Empire, Coventry 5th May – Vintage Bar, Doncaster 6th May – Parish, Huddersfield 8th May – KU Bar, Stockton 9th May – Tunnels, Aberdeen 10th May – Alma Inn, Bolton 11th May – Focus Wales, Central Station, Wrexham 9th June – Download Festival, Donington 13th August – Boomtown Fair, Winchester Ticket link: www.astroid-boys.com Follow Astroid Boys: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | YouTube
