“A sound deconstructed through the minds of musicians who look more to memories than they do to the future, and in the process find something that sounds like a new discovery.” – NPR

 

Guards are pleased to announce that they will be performing at Lollapalooza this Summer! On tour in support of their new album In Guards We Trust(Black Bell Records), the band has also been confirmed to join Palma Violets on tour immediately following their anticipated appearance at Coachella. The dates add to an already packed schedule for the New York-based group, that includes upcoming shows with Best Coast and Alt-J.

 The music video for Guards‘ new single “Ready To Go” recently premiered across multiple channels at MTV – MTV2, mtvU, MTV Buzzworthy Blog, MTV Hive and VH1.com.

In Guards We Trust has received overwhelming acclaim since its release earlier this year. Esquire named the band one of “15 Music Artists to Watch in 2013” and Vogue selected them as “Band of the Week,” with additional praise coming from Stereogum, Pitchfork, Wall Street Journal, Buzzfeed, and Elle, among others. Their highly-buzzed SXSW appearances earned them a spot at the top of several festival roundups, including NPR Music, who selected the band as one of “15 Essential Moments From SXSW 2013,” praising, “I walked across the street to the Empire Control Room, toward the sound of good, strong, guitar-laden pop…I loved what I was hearing.”

Founded in New York City by singer Richie Follin, Guards also features Kaylie Church and Loren Humphrey.
