Your Demise FAREWELL TOUR 2014

Your demise have been a band now for four years and to mark the end of the firth year, they have decided to go down with a massive farewell tour in a few places around the UK. Announcing their break up earlier this year, the post-hardcore band from St Albans officially are parting ways right after they do a special tour around the world for last minute fans to catch them in the action before it's all over. (Break up video)
Being a big fan of the band and loving their music for a number of years, the news hit me harder than I expected as recently around that time a number of other bands had announced their departure to the music world and taken a break or officially split up like, Madina Lake and Bowling for soup. It's always sad when a band breaks up, especially when they have played such a curtail and important part in your life, helping you cope through difficult situations or brightening your mood on a rainy day, bands are always there to change that.

One thing was for sure though, they would leave us all with a tour to remember them by. Previously I have seen Your Demise play three times in the past two years and they have all been brilliant in performance wise and also vocals. Edd is a stage warrior, bouncing around in his little shorts, stage diving every so often into the crowd, making sure that everyone was having the time of their life.

Your Demise are playing not one but, TWO dates in London at the underworld Camden which is a tiny venue, guaranteeing that chaos will occur, cramming 300 hundred your demise fans under one small worn out roof. I was fortunate enough to get tickets for both dates of this tour, excited as for each date a different support act would be performing.

TODAY was the day in which they all got announced, after waiting months and months, the cat was right out of the bag and London had an even bigger surprise.

Seeings as YD had two days of supports to filled, I figured they wouldn't be as strong as the other dates, however I was competly wrong.
For the Friday we have:

Marmozets

Palm Reader 

These four bands are relatively in the same hardcore/ post-hardcore genre to Your Demise, making them the perfect bands to support. 
First up w toe have Crooks who have just appeared on the YOUNG BLOG radar as they are a fresh, new hardcore band from the UK who are currently touring with Malory Knox and other bands, making there way to the top. They are the sort of band who will have you griped on just one song as that's all it took for me to get into their music style, siding me to their music straight away. Next up we have Marmozets which are slightly different and have a cleaner, softer intake on the genre as I would class them more alternative than hardcore as such, nevertheless they seem like a good band to open up for Demise.
Then we have Palm Reader who I have actually seen live before in June, at the Peel in Kingston proving to live up to their genre of being full of action and live.
Lastly Heights, who also formed at a similar time to Your Demise, will bring the final touch just before the headliners take to the stage. Also previously seeing them live before, I know what to expect and can imagine that they will be bringing quite a storm to the underworld for this date.
Then for the last date (SATURDAY) we have:

Now in my opinion this line up sucks balls on all the rest as we have some of the finest hardcore bands from the UK playing for a special gig. The Saturday is like no other ordinary gig as it is the last one your demise will actually play EVER in the UK so, obviously they'd have to make it a good one. The two bands I am mostly looking forward to see are TRC and BWP, as already seeing Landscapes and thinking they were average on sounding and performance, I had yet to see if the rumors of the other two were as real as everyone was making them out to be. Just four months away until this mindblowing tour kicks off, and I will be back to update you on how it went. But what do you think about this news and do you like the supports or not?
