Remember when every tour you saw had a name? Instead of the 17-year-old me telling everyone the next day at school that I saw Sparta, Glassjaw, Hot Water Music, and Dredg, I was just like “Dudes, I was totally at the SnoCore tour last night, and I talked to Daryl Palumbo for 10 minutes!” Try and get over your jealousy of me for a bit though, so we can discuss Constantines' decision to name their upcoming tour “The Rolling Tundra Revue.”
Now, “The Rolling Tundra Revue” may not roll off the tongue as easily as “SnoCore,” but I’ll forgive them for that, because they’ve also decided to release a new EP to celebrate their upcoming tour. The Too Slow For Love EP is available now from Arts&Crafts and is a companion EP to Constantines’ 2008 album, Kensington Heights (TMT Review), featuring alternate versions of four different tracks from the album.
Too Slow For Love tracklisting:
1. Young Lions (Stripped down version, originally from Shine A Light)
2. Shower of Stones (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
3. Conductor (Stripped down version, originally from Tournament of Hearts)
4. Our Age (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
5. Strange Birds (originally by Jon Langford & The Sadies)
6. Do What You Can Do (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
7. I Will Not Sing A Hateful Song (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
