Misery Signals will release their third album, Controller, on Tuesday through Ferret Records before making a lengthy run through the U.S. on the Thrash And Burn Tour and playing a slate of fall Canadian with Comeback Kid.

"Energy-packed performance… tight… loud… heavy," is how bassist Kyle Johnson describes a Misery Signals show for those who haven't seen them.

"Comeback Kid will be headlining," says Johnson of the fall tour. "It will be a pretty diverse show, playing with Comeback Kid. I think the tour is definitely going to have a different fan base as well as appealing to some of the same fans."

While no dates have been confirmed, Johnson anticipates the tour beginning sometime in September and says he can hardly wait to come back to Canada.

"There's a lot less competition up there, I think, than compared to down here. There's not as much of a chicken-fight as far as bands doing similar styles. And I think that Canada has always been more loyal to us throughout the years. I think we have a lot of old fans, but at the same time we keep building our fan base.

"Fans don't last anymore. They'll come see your band one week, then the next week they don't give a shit. There's no real loyalty. I mean, there is, but the loyalty is a lot more prevalent in Canada."
