Periphery

Who says you need to play shows and have a record deal to be in a good touring band? Not the members of Periphery, a metal band formed when the guitarist shared his riffs across numerous online forums. But hey, it worked for them, they got signed, and last year they got dragged out to Australia as the opening act for Dillinger Escape Plan. And it was there that they melted our faces with their metal.

And now, they're coming back for their own solo tour. They'll be zooming through the Zoo July 29 (19+), which apparently is close to selling out already, within a week of tickets being released! Melbourne's already sold out, so obviously that tells you how good these guys are.
