(openPR) - A Smile From The Trenches announces their upcoming 2009 show schedule in support of their hit debut EP, “Leave The Gambling For Vegas.”

Los Angeles, CA (August 27, 2009) — After two years of shaping, A Smile From The Trenches has inked a deal with up and coming record label DC Hardcore (home of punk legend H.R. of Bad Brains) and is ready to show the world what they’ve become. Originally formed in Grand Junction, Colorado, the band now resides in Los Angeles, California. They will hit the road in support of their debut EP, “Leave The Gambling For Vegas,” which will be re-released with three new tracks on October 13, 2009. With notable tracks such as “Start Worryin’ Star Warrian,” “Dani,” “Juicy Fruit,” and a cover of the Katy Perry hit “Hot N Cold,” the album has created a well-deserved buzz.

“This tour means so much to us. Collectively as a band, we are ready to share our new material with the masses and hype everyone up for our killer full-length album,” shares lead singer Stoney Anderson.

Comparable to My Chemical Romance and The Used, A Smile From The Trenches’ sound carries a unique punk-rock vibe with hints of unconventional pop, combining melodic melodies and gut-wrenching lyrics. Referred to as the new “Bad Boys of Pop,” A Smile From The Trenches is an experience not to be missed. 2009 tour dates are in the area noted below.

ABOUT A SMILE FROM THE TRENCHES

Originally formed in Colorado in 2006, today’s A Smile From The Trenches hails from Los Angeles, California with plans to reshape a genre that has been dormant since the days of The Used and My Chemical Romance. With collective experiences taking home first place at Colorado’s Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands, Ozzfest, Warped Tour and playing with Escape The Fate, Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, LoveHateHero, A Skylite Drive, Aiden, Story of the Year, Devil Wears Prada, Bullets and Octane, A Static Lullaby and many others, the self-proclaimed “hardest working rock band in the US” continues to drive through their 2009 tour bringing in hundreds of people to their shows. They independently recorded and released their debut EP “Leave The Gambling For Vegas” on March 17, 2009, which has immediately generated buzz off of the three focus tracks “Start Worryin’ Star Warrian”, “Dani” and a cover of Katy Perry’s hit “Hot N Cold.”
With the success off of their debut EP, the band signed a deal with the label DC Hardcore for a re-release of this album with the addition of three new bonus tracks including, “Juicy Fruit.” This mini album will be released both physically and digitally on October 13, 2009. The band will head back into the studio in 2010 to start work on a full-length album.
