Aiden
My future husband (fingers crossed) Will Francis and his mates, Angel Ibarra, Nick Wiggins and Jake Davison - otherwise known as Aiden are back for UK tour dates this June.
It’s been quite a ride for the Seattle rockers, who, in just two years, have gone from obscurity to gracing magazine covers, winning awards and playing arenas with their heroes. Fuelled by infectious dark punk and an infamously jaw dropping live show, they have taken the world by storm…not bad for five kids from the rainy city who formed while two of them were still in high school.
The band has gone above and beyond their wildest dreams. With gracing domestic & international magazine covers, touring with HIM & 30 Seconds to Mars in the US, two sell-out tours of the UK, a whole summer on Warped Tour, winning Best International Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards, and Best Newcomer at the Metal Hammer Awards, 2006 was just a hint of what is to become of this multi-talented band that always leave critics eating their words and new fans worshiping them.
Already, Aiden have been part of Taste of Chaos North American Tour alongside 30 Seconds to Mars, The Used, and Senses Fail, they’ve played the main stage at the Virgin and Download Festivals, and on August 21st, they unleash their new album Conviction.
The new record shows this Seattle quintet is taking the next path down the road that will launch this group of misfits into one of the biggest rock bands of 2007. With that in mind, taking the world by storm was only the beginning; now prepare yourself and those around you for Conviction.
Aiden will be joined by special guests Tonight is Goodbye who released debut single Fire in the hole in March after their biggest tour yet. The video for single which saw the band in the shoes of Duran Duran, sailing the seas with champagne and windswept hair was very well received on Kerrang! and Scuzz TV. The band are currently in the studio recording their debut album, and by the time the Aiden tour comes around it will be complete.
