Slated to take place from March 27th to April 12th, the sixteen-date journey includes performances alongside Swedish hardcore punk miscreants, DS-13, and Cleveland, Ohio-based hardcore merchants, Fuck You Pay Me. Additionally, CLASSHOLE will be joined by drummer Jorge Herrera (Despise You, ACxDC) this run filling in for Paul Webb. See all confirmed dates below.
CLASSHOLE, featuring within its ranks a colorful cast of volume abusers from the likes of Eyehategod, Hawg Jaw, Outlaw Order, The Mystick Krewe Of Clearlight, Mountain Of Wizard, Mangina, Tirefire, haarp, and more, released their self-titled debut via The Compound Recs in conjunction with band’s own Terror Cult imprint last year. Already issued in a limited vinyl run via Terror Cult, the CD edition comes as a four-panel digipak featuring an alternate layout and lyric liner, plus bonus video footage of the band performing live in NOLA.

“…the tunes they churn out here are full-fledged, fast, dark, and nasty… with a murderous groove and a vocalist more used to spitting black metal brimstone than dopesick bile.” – Noisey
“CLASSHOLE is here to punch you in the fucking face and leave you in an alley somewhere. At least that’s the vibe I get from the band’s self-titled debut…” – Metal Injection
“The music is suicidal, destructive nonchalance writhing in pain and apathy, all trapped in the same moment. CLASSHOLE have made a soundtrack to a descent into despair.” – New Noise
“The entire album sounds like the derailment of a freight train coming through a republican party parade.” – The Sludgelord
“…sick, dirty, anarchic, caustic….” – The Examiner
“…pure, unadulterated anger….” – Rock Shock Pop
“…fifteen tracks of angry, fast-paced punk laced with old-school hardcore breakdowns… There is no poetry, no pomp and certainly no circumstance. Merely an album of raw anthems replete with sing-along aspects and curb stomping brutality. The revolution is now and the soundtrack to the black bandana faced throwing of molotov cocktails will be CLASSHOLE.” – Nine Circles
