Minneapolis, MN hard rock/industrial metal outfit AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE proudly announce their new EP, Shoot, slated for release on July 23rd, and the first leg of the “Shoot Tour” kicking off on August 2nd in Madison, WI @ The Regent State Theater. The Shoot EP was recorded by Don Debiase at Studio D Productions in Cleveland, OH, and mixed by Dave Fortman at Balance Productions in New Orleans, LA. Artwork for the Shoot EP was created by Sam “Mister-Sam” Shearon.
The EP will be self released by the band. “We're extremely proud of this little gem. For an EP, it was a long, arduous process that spanned 5 states and 6 studios, but we persevered and succeeded." notes bassist and co-founder Chad Hanks. "This is our first major step back into the game, and the next step in serving up a full-length AHC record. The “heavy music scene” is even worse off than we left it 6 years ago. We're looking to rectify that."
Shoot can be pre-ordered from the American Head Charge website (headcharge.com) and fans can bundle the CD with an exclusive poster and t-shirt. All pre-orders will receive a code to digitally download the EP a week prior to its release.
Joining AHC on the “Shoot Tour”, on select dates, are fellow Minneapolis heavy rockers Blue Felix and "humorcore" kings Psychostick. “We're all very excited to go out and tour the U.S. in support of our new EP." continues Hanks. "It's been a year since we've been on the road, and we're more than ready to deliver the goods. Prepare yourselves, America." American Head Charge formally celebrates the release of the EP on September 6th, the final date of the tour, with a blowout event at the famed Minneapolis concert venue, First Avenue.
