Unafraid and on the rise, the British pop punk band As It Is ventures on a North America tour this month, in support of their third studio album, The Great Depression. The tour kicked off January 17th in Los Angeles, and comes to an end February 22nd in Anaheim, California. The triumph of an album has been streamed over 13 million times on Spotify, and upholds the theme of the toxic romanticization of depression. Within the album, band members Patty Walters, Patrick Foley, Benjamin Langford-Bliss, Alistair Testo, and Ronnie Ish paint pictures of a brave subject in the form of poetic neo-emo melodies. If you are in search of a grunge, alternative, catchy band to check out, make sure to see As It Is on tour. You can find tickets on the band’s official site here.
