Pitchfork: The Rumble Strips Postpone U.S. Dates

In the world of the Rumble Strips, there are good rumbles and bad rumbles. Good rumbles include things like the Stateside release today (November 27) of the upstart quartet's Alarm Clock EP and some accompanying U.S. tour dates. Bad rumbles include things like the band's recent postponement of said dates, which were to begin tonight.

The reason? According to management, "The U.S. dates have been postponed 'til the new year because the band are going straight back into the studio to start demoing new material for the 2nd album."

Fortunately for residents of the Strips' native UK, it's not all bad rumbles from the band; they have also scheduled quite a few new shows there. Think of it as a transatlantic make-up tour of sorts, and keep your eyes peeled for new U.S. dates in 2008.
