A Mark Of Cain Australian Tour 2014 has been announced as the legendary hardcore band celebrate the release of a new single.
Adelaide stalwarts John and Kim Scott, along with young drummer Eli Green, will take to the road through October and November at the end of the year on their first national tour since March 2013, playing capital cities as well as visiting Newcastle and Hobart for the first time in almost 20 years.
The Mark Of Cain Australian Tour 2014 is to mark the release of ‘Grey-11’, the third single from the band’s much lauded fifth album Songs Of The Third & Fifth, which features a prominent spoken word monologue from long-time Mark of Cain friend Henry Rollins.
Says John Scott of ‘Grey-11’: “I wrote about someone coming back from a bad conflict anywhere, and that the thought of coming back to their family or girlfriend or boyfriend is what kept them going [through] Hell, only to find they’ve even betrayed by the very people they relied on – and who else would get that but Rollins who tours war zones and visits combat casualties in Europe and the US. Rollins gets us, he knows our shit. When called he responded.”
An edited version of ‘Grey-11’ will be released as a free download available to those already on The Mark Of Cain’s mailing list and all new subscribers (who can sign up here) with the download sent out on 11th August.
