One of the coolest stories to come out of this year was the unexpected return of The Sword. Announced just in time for the 15th anniversary of Warp Riders, it was a perfect time to get out there and tour on the back of such a beloved and seminal record.

So when we learned that they’d be playing the entirety of that record in full, you know we had to make sure we had a photographer out there to catch the action. Enter Jacob Juno — that due’s our intrepid photog out west and he nailed the assignment.

Be sure to check out Jacob Juno’s photos below and go give his Instagram a follow today. If you’d like to check these bands out live, you can do so by checking out the full list of North American tour dates below and getting your tickets today.
