South Dakota rockers Paradise Fears will be headlining a North American tour in 2015, according to a recent press release from the band (via Under the Gun).
Don't know anything about them? Well, singer Sam Miller recently discussed the group's influences with HZO.
"Sonically, I love the way the Coldplay records sound," he said. "Our band will all get into Muse. Stuff like that, that has a vibe instrumentally. Lyrically, I'm a big fan of Andrew McMann (Jack's Mannequin, Something Corporate), he's definitely my favorite musician. I think John Mayer writes really, really great songs."
"People always laugh when I say this, but Drake. I really do love the emotional honesty of his songs. There's something really blunt about it that I think is very cool.
Andy Grammer and Alex & Sierra will join the group on the road. Here are the newly announced dates:
