FIRST SINGLE AFTERMATH AVAILABLE VIA LOUDWIRE TODAY

ALL NEW LP TUSK II DUE OUT OCTOBER 26, 2018

PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE AUGUST 6, 2018

Toronto, ON – August 3, 2018 – Royal Tusk has signed a worldwide deal with Entertainment One (eOne), with plans to release a brand new LP this fall. The band has released a track off that LP titled Aftermath today exclusively via LOUDWIRE.

“Aftermath laments the way the constant bombardment of horrific events has desensitized us to ultra-violence," says vocalist Daniel Carriere. “I should be losing sleep / but losing isn’t enough / because there’s not a tragedy so bad it keeps me up.” 

Royal Tusk will release their eOne debut TUSK II on October 26, 2018. All pre-orders will be available on August 6, 2018. Fans who pre-order the LP on iTunes will get Aftermath as an iTunes instant grat track. Aftermath is available on all streaming platforms today.

Blue-collar troubadours from the Great White North, Royal Tusk are steadfast champions of the majesty of kickass riffs, meaty hooks, a thick bottom end, and loud guitars. The four-piece band born in Edmonton, Alberta mount a high-octane assault on the lazy security blanket, self-aware irony of hipsters and the disingenuous commercial pandering of rock poseurs alike. 

This is music with meaning, sometimes even a message, that’s always built around a powerful vibe and uncompromising passion. Royal Tusk is a deeply soulful celebration, brimming with working-class optimism and tempered by renegade realism. On their sophomore-slump-smashing TUSK II, the group summons the effortless energy of an era of rock music when bands weren’t content to merely reverse-engineer hit-making formulas to move units.

Royal Tusk is a band with more in common with Deep Purple and Aerosmith than anything on commercial radio. TUSK II arrives on the heels of their well-received debut, DealBreaker (2016), and their first EP, Mountain (2014).

Trailblazers like Soundgarden, Mudhoney, and Pearl Jam defined success on their own terms, putting artistry and authenticity first. Royal Tusk follows in that fine tradition, reveling in unbridled creativity that is provocative, nuanced, and captivating. The laidback charisma of stoner groove, the polished melodicism of classic and progressive rock, and the energy of punk all collide within Royal Tusk, earning them a steadily building buzz as big as their riffs.

Royal Tusk is:
Daniel Carriere – Vocals/Guitars // Sandy MacKinnon – Bass
Quinn Cyrankiewicz – Guitar // Calen Stuckel – Drums
