The White Summer Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.

After being hailed for their blistering performance at Triple J’s One Night Stand after-party over the weekend, buzz-band White Summer are excited to announce the release of their menacing rock single ‘Smoke Screen’ on 6 June 2014 (listen below).

To celebrate, the Melbourne four-piece will hit the road for a 12-date tour across Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Hobart and more – including two sold-out shows with band-of the-moment, DMA’s.

There’s been a lot of love out there for White Summer. The quartet’s performance at the aforementioned Triple J One Night Stand after-party lured a sweaty, mosh collective of 2000+ people, along with notable shout outs on air from the station’s presenters. Since the show, the band’s online follower count has skyrocketed, and their inbox has being inundated with messages from fans and media alike.

Their new single ‘Smoke Screen’ is an embracing tune for lovers of rock, packed with stomping beats, a rollicking rhythm, distorted guitar tones and a whole lot of swagger – further heightened by Jimmy Stanfield’s commanding vocals.

White Summer formed when Jimmy Stanfield (lead vocalist) and Michael Barnsley (guitarist) – who are both from Victoria’s Phillip Island – packed their bags and moved to Melbourne a few years ago. After meeting city-slicking bassist Anthony Zielke and Alex Zielke, the lineup was complete.

The reaction to their 2013 EP What I’ve Been Waiting For saw the band tour nationally in December and January of this year, including mammoth shows at The Espy on NYE and St.Kilda Festival.

Now, White Summer are back – and in a huge way. After having previously played with artists such as Kingswood and The Delta Riggs, the ‘Smoke Screen’ tour will see the band share stages with local legends DMA’s, Stonefield, Ninjas and Cherry Dolls.
