A few years ago Animals As Leaders guitarist Javier Reyes told us about the time he auditioned for Periphery. “They were 20 years old, and I was 26. I was just not trying to hang out with 20-year-olds…”
Now older and wiser, Animals As Leaders are gearing up to release their third studio album, a follow-up to 2011’s Weightless. While there aren’t too many details on it yet, word on the street is that it’s expected out this spring. That makes sense, since the band will be going on a lengthy headlining tour later this month with After The Burial, Navene-K, and CHON.
Anyway, until we get further details, here’s some footage we dug up of a new song the band performed in Melbourne, Australia over the weekend.
