Influential hardcore act Coalesce has announced plans for a new recording and a new tour set to kick off in August. Frontman Sean Ingram send us a note about the tour:
Instead of looking at coalesce as a second career or some ego-stroking project to prove something within modern music, it is being held closely and personally by the members as their time to put aside familial duties, work, school, or whatnot, and simply “do it.” In short, we just want to hang out together again and play our shows out of a peculiar love for doing so (in all it’s ugly purity).
Please let us make it very clear that this is not a “reunion” tour in any way shape or form. Since it’s simply the nature of Coalesce to come and go as it pleases, terms like “reunion” make no sense when applied to it.
The band will be releasing a new 7-inch titled Salt and Passage which is their first recording since 1999’s critically acclaimed 0:12 Revolution in Just Listening. Along with the record, the band will be releasing a DVD box, No Business in this Business and re-pressing There is Nothing New Under the Sun. This will coincide with an East Coast/Midwest stint in August. Coalesce will be touring with Daughters (Hydra Head), and See You Next Tuesday (Ferret) on the east coast dates (including Chicago) and This Is My Condition in the Midwest.
Coalesce was formed in 1995 and, along with Botch, proved to be one of the most influential bands in 90s noise, metal and hardcore. Drummer James DeWees went on to join The Get Up Kids and performed with New Found Glory as well as forming Reggie and the Full Effect. Sean Ingram has provided vocals on albums for Blessing The Hogs, The Used, the Ocean and Reggie and the Full Effect. Stacy Hilt and Nate Ellis went on to form The Casket Lottery.
