THE ACCUSED Preparing For European Tour

Seattle's reigning kings of "splatter rock" THE ACCUSED have issued the following update:

"For you maniac ACCUSED fans who are not up on all the latest news, you've picked a great time to check in! ESPECIALLY if you live in Europe! From February 2, 2007 to March 17, 2007, Kings of Splatter Rock THE ACCUSED will be terrorizing approximately 15 countries in 39 days, performing 39 back-to-back shows on 'THE ACCUSED European Splat-tour 2007'!! FINALLY THE ACCUSED get to give the European audience a splattering in support of their recently-released Nuclear Blast CD 'Oh Martha!' — available in Europe as a mega-disc with 19 bonus tracks, including most of the infamous 'Baked Tapes' songs! Joining up with THE ACCUSED for the first leg of the tour will be past labelmates, and crossover veterans, the reunited CRUMBSUCKERS! After that, the band lineup will flat-out DESTROY anything in its path with the addition of EXTREME NOISE TERROR and DRILLER KILLER joining the travelling torture-fest!

"THE ACCUSED are very stoked to be among the company of these bands, especially CRUMBSUCKERS, who like THE ACCUSED are back from a hiatus to throw-it-down old-school style for all you old fans and all the newbies out there raised on Dad's mosh-pit stories from his past! Every one of the bands on this tour is going to deliver the goods like a mutherf..@%; so be SURE to come out and be witness to the first mega-tour of 2007 hitting Europe this February!"
