Aggression Checks In With New Road Report

The recently reformed Canadian outfit Aggression has been slaying stages on the "Forsaken East Coast Survival" tour, and now the band has released a road report for the fans via CrownOfViserys.com.

The U.S. tour kicked off earlier this March at the 2015 edition of Defenders of The Old Festival in Brooklyn, NY. These were Aggression's first series of shows since 2005, where the band reunited at the Montreal Metal Massacre. You can still catch the last night of the tour:

March 23 - Rochester, NY - The Bug Jar

Aggression had this to say about recent tour dates:

The band packed up and hit the road late Thursday, March 12th. With about an hour to go before boarding the plane in Seattle, we learned our bass player was denied entry into the States. With lots of money already invested into the trip of course we decided to carry on. So far off to a rocky start, but don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom! Friday the 13th, we prepped ourselves up to get ready to play The Defenders of the Old Fest’s 3rd Annual festival. Denis “Sasquatch” Barthe, had to make a tough call. Not having picked up a bass in over 5 years and being completely unprepared, he rented and played a bass for Aggression‘s set, leaving all the guitar duties up to our second guitarist, Dave Watson. Despite the very rocky start to the tour, we took to the stage and gave it 100%. It was great to see the fans in Brooklyn shouting the lyrics back at us. The next night we thrashed in Philadelphia’s Black Vulture Gallery. If you’re ever in the area, I strongly suggest checking this Tattoo/Art Gallery shop that throws the occasional show. Some great art pieces in there!

Today (March 15) is a day off/travel day. With some time to relax, Denis made a phone call to longtime and original Aggression bass player, Dug, in Montreal who planned to catch our show tomorrow in Burlington, VT. I’m pleased to say that not only is Dug going to be at the show, he has agreed to fill in for all the remaining dates of the tour. Bass player situation fixed! Solid friend right there. We’re looking forward to the unique opportunity to have him on board with us even if only temporary. Thanks Dug, you are the man! Getting Ready to thrash Nectar’s in Burlington, VT!
