Brit metal bunkers go about their business: Johnny Truant tour
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver November 24th, 2005
and Raziq Rauf

Brighton-based metal types Johnny Truant head out on a headline UK tour this week in support of their recently released, and rather chuffing good, second album In The Library Of Horrific Events (pictured, just there, for easy in-shop recognition, and because I have no picture of the band).

The band have only just returned from a continental jaunt alongside post-hardcore outfit Alexisonfire, and play the following venues:

November
25 YORK Fibbers/Barfly
26 GLASGOW Barfly
27 BIRMINGHAM Barfly
28 CARDIFF Barfly
29 SOUTHAMPTON Joiners
30 LONDON Barfly

The press folk behind the band reckon that they're "easily the UK's most promising metal act in aeons", which is quite some claim, so why not head out and check for yourself? No? Okay, go see Les Savy Fav on the 30th instead (I'll see you there).

Tour support comes from Beyond All Reason and Blood Roses by the way. We've not heard either, but they're probably loud and like black t-shirts. Probably.
