August is a significant month in our career as it marks the 16th anniversary of our first release ('The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild'). We've taken our time, but this is a great tour and opportunity to play for our very patient fans in the U.S. and also make new fans!"

Kevlar Posts "Oblivion" Video

Pennsylvania's Kevlar has released an official video for "Oblivion," taken off of the April-released "Home Is Where The Heart Is" EP. The clip was was directed by Zach Kubiak and filmed in Erie, PA. Check it out below.

Vocalist Kelci Margaret comments: “This song is about struggling with your emotions and wanting them to just leave and thinking that feeling nothing would be better than feeling everything, but finding that's not the case.

"Its easy to run and hide from what you’re feeling in life but that can never be a permanent solution, and I learned that the hard way over these past few years. This video showcases the emotion put to the music and the lyrics between all four of us. We hope you can see it, too. Enjoy!” More...
