Guards releasing debut in 2013, on tour now (dates, streams)

Guards

Guards are gearing up for the release of their debut album, In Guards We Trust, which will be out February 5. A couple tastes from the album are ready to scoop into now — the new single “Coming True” is streamable below, as is the video for “Silver Lining.” If you like “whoa-ohs” and instantly sing-a-long choruses (they’re not that far from what the Rosebuds do, really), check it out.

They’re an engaging live band too, at least when I saw them during CMJ this year. You can find out for yourself as Guards, fronted by Richie Follin (who is also a member of Cults with his sister Madeline), are on a tour now which includes a NYC stop at Knitting Factory on December 15 with TEEN and Your Youth. Tickets for that show are on sale. They’ll hit the road with Menomena in February as well, though no dates in NYC for that jaunt.

A list of all Guards dates, video, and streams, below…
