Bloodsimple Added To Family Values Tour

New York metal crew Bloodsimple has reportedly been added to the second-stage lineup on this summer's Family Values tour.

Bloodsimple's sophomore album, 'Red Harvest', is due later this summer. The album was produced by Machine (Lamb Of God, White Zombie). The LP will contain around 11 tracks, including "Dead Man Walking", the title cut and "El Myr" — the name of an Atlanta burrito bar the band loves to visit while on the road.

"This record is definitely a step up from the last one," says guitarist Nick Rowe.

"We tried to write more as a band this time," adds guitarist Mike Kennedy. "The last record was written a lot on ProTools and it was a little more structured whereas on this record we tried to open it up a little bit and make it feel like a real band wrote it. I think we definitely achieved that, for sure."
