In honor of The Jezabels’ shows at CMJ this week, their single “Mace Spray” from their newest release the Dark Storm EP is our Song of the week.
Sydney, Australia’s The Jezabels are set to head out on a national tour of Canada in support of Two Hours Traffic following the recent release of their new EP Dark Storm, out 10/1. The North American trip begins with several appearances at the CMJ Music Marathon before heading north to Canada for a show in Toronto and 8 dates as main support for Two Hours Traffic.
The Jezabels have tirelessly toured Australia since the release of their EP She’s So Hard in November 2009. The band has supported artists like Tegan & Sara, Katie Noonan and Josh Pyke as well as selling out their own headlining shows. Additionally, the singles “Hurt Me” and “Easy to Love” from the EP She’s So Hard received heavy rotation on radio in Australia and abroad.
The newest EP and the third of a trilogy of EPs (beginning with 2009’s The Man Is Dead) represents the band’s most confident outing to date–moody, mysterious, and epic, yet buzzing with the quartet’s ever-present knack for an irresistible pop hook.
