From First To Last Ready New Material For Canadian Tour

After watching past label deals fall by the wayside, punk band From First To Last have signed to Suretone Records for the follow-up to last year's Epitaph release, Heroine.

The Los Angeles-based group are finishing off the still-untitled album with producer Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Linkin Park) and mixer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers) in anticipation of a release later this year.

Guitarist Matt Good has taken over lead vocal duties from the departed Sonny Moore, while the rest of the lineup is rounded out by guitarist/backing vocalist Travis Richter, drummer Derek Bloom and new permanent member Matt Manning on bass and backing vocals.

From First To Last will likely preview new material when they join Die Mannequin as the opening acts on the Deftones' first full headlining tour of Canada since the 2000 release of White Pony.

Here are the dates:
July 9 Victoria, BC @ Victoria Curling Club
July 11-12 Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom
July 14 Edmonton, AB @ Shaw Conference Centre
July 15 Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall
July 19 Regina, SK @ Doris Knight Hall
