August Burns Red Announce Messengers Tenth Anniversary Tour with Protest The Hero, In Hearts Wake, and ’68

So I guess August Burns Red’s second album, Messengers, is considered a big deal to the band’s fans? Some kind of creative highpoint or whatever? I dunno, I’m not a fan, but the band is touring in honor of the record’s tenth anniversary, so I’m assuming people like it. But the band has said nothing about playing the album in full, so maybe they’re just using the anniversary as an excuse to tour.

ANYHOO, also along for the ride will be Protest the Hero and ’68, who are both swell, and In Hearts Wake, who are not. But I dunno maybe if you dig ABR you dig IHW. WTF.
