Atticus Beer Presents The Atticus Beer Tour 2013 feat. Decade and Light You Up

Atticus Beer, the world’s first global Rock n’ Roll Beer Brand brought to you from the now legendary music inspired clothing brand Atticus (originally founded by the mighty Blink 182)
 is proud to present a joint-headline bill in March 2013 featuring two of the UK’s fastest rising pop punk acts: Birmingham’s leading pop-punk export Light You Up and Bath based pop-punk powerhouse Decade. Full dates and details can be found below.

After smashing their way onto the UK touring circuit in 2012, both bands have been causing a stir in the press with regular features in Rock Sound and Kerrang! magazine as well as firing new passion for the homegrown scene amongst UK pop punk fans. Meeting properly on their October tour with A Loss For Words and Save Your Breath, they made an instant connection over their love of music and took the next logical step of booking in a joint UK tour culminating in an appearance by both bands at Radstock Festival 2013 alongside The Blackout, We Are The Ocean, Don Broco and more.

“We’re stoked to be touring with our good friends in Light You Up again” says Decade front man Alex Sears “We had the pleasure of touring with them in October with AL4W and Save Your Breath and they are an incredible live band and a great bunch of dudes!”

“We are so stoked to get back out on the road, and it will be a great time hanging with our buddies in Decade” adds Light You Up guitarist Drew Masters “We've been blown away by the response to our 'Broken Jaw' EP so we can't wait to get out in people’s faces and see it for ourselves. It’s the perfect start to 2013 for us.”

“Atticus has always been about supporting the new bands that we love watching and hanging out with” says Tony Arthy of Atticus Beer “For us, that’s exactly what this tour is about.”

Decade have just finished recording their long awaited debut album with Romesh Dodangoda (The Blackout, Kids In Glass Houses, Lost Prophets) set for a spring 2013 release and Light You Up are set to record their full length in the US during summer 2013.

Decade's Alex Sears Releases Pop Punk Christmas Paul McCartney Cover For Free Download

Decade's Alex Sears Releases Pop Punk Christmas Paul McCartney Cover For Free Download


Following a year that’s seen his band grow from strength to strength and become one of the most hotly tipped pop-punk acts in the UK, Decade front man Alex Sears is showing no signs of slowing down his prolific creative output by closing 2012 with a free download of Paul McCartney’s ‘Simply Having A Wonderful Christmastime’ accompanied by a homemade video featuring a nostalgic selection of the best in retro Christmas TV ads!
Keeping all the synthy-tweeness of the original and giving it his own twist with his signature vocals and overdriven guitars, this cover is guaranteed to get you in the festive pop punk spirit this season. Released under the front man’s alias sophomore, through which he’s already released a free 3 track EP and cover of Lana Del Rey’s Blue Jeans (all still available on the bandcamp here: http://sophomoreuk.bandcamp.com/ ), the material sees a slight departure from the regular Decade fare and leaves him free to explore his songwriting and creative flair.

“I decided to have a crack at Wonderful Christmastime because I really wanted to do a Christmas cover and I think it’s one isn't an obvious choice” says Alex “Plus the chords are really clever and I knew it would sound sick played as a full band. 2012 has been an amazing year for me; I've had the chance to play with some bands that I love and the reception we had at Hit The Deck and Slamdunk was unreal! Hopefully once the new album is out it'll be even bigger and better next year.”

After appearing alongside Hit The Lights, Transit, The Story So Far, A Loss For Words, Save Your Breath, Light You Up and many more as well as slots at Slam Dunk Festival and Hit The Deck, Decade have rounded off an exceptional year by recording their debut album at Longwave Studios with Romesh Dodangoda set for a spring 2013 release.

Decade play Radstock Festival on 30th March 2013 alongside The Blackout, We Are The Ocean, Yashin, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and many more to be announced – more 2013 dates TBC.
