The Rumble Strips return with a 21 date UK tour this March to precede their as yet untitled second album. This is the band's first headline tour since the Girls and Weather album tour of Autumn 2007 and they are looking forward to getting up close and personal with their UK fans again – seeing the whites of their eyes and smelling the sweat dripping off the walls.
Charlie Waller, frontman: "I've got my toothbrush, berocca and anusol. So long, lilly livered house livers; I've been with you too long"
