We first heard their cracking tune The Great And The Good back in April and the initial buzz around Max Raptor is gaining some serious momentum as the Midlands crew take their alt rock to the people.

Now the hard gigging quartet have announced a full headline tour for July – not much notice, we know – and they’re playing 12 dates in 13 days across the UK (their day off allows them to make the short hop from Newcastle to Brighton…).

Warming up with a show in Derby at The Venue on July 14 the tour kicks off in earnest five days later. For the full list of dates read on…
