Ever since releasing their self-titled debut a few months back Run For Cover Records, Young Statues have been getting a lot of attention for their melodic indie pop. Now, the quintet are getting ready to pack up their equipment for a month-long tour with New York’s A Great Big Pile of Leaves and Kentucky’s Mansions that will also feature a number of SXSW appearances. To celebrate the momentous occasion, the band even released a special acoustic EP that features alternate takes of tracks from their debut (which you can grab HERE). It should also be available when the tour roles into its third day of tour at The Fire for an all ages performance today, they will be joined by South Jersey/Philly rock quartet Wildebeast.
