"Flash point", the band's debut full-length, thankfully makes marked improvement in that department, though it still falls short of the band's surface potential. A few solid jammers to be sure, just not enough to keep me coming back for repeat listens.]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:50:28 -0700 reviews Graveyard to tour Europe, bringing Spiders http://www.itsatrap.com/n/40919-graveyard-to-tour-europe-bringing-spiders http://www.itsatrap.com/n/40919-graveyard-to-tour-europe-bringing-spiders http://www.itsatrap.com/n/40919-graveyard-to-tour-europe-bringing-spiders#comments Graveyard will be heading out on tour in late November and are bringing fellow Swedish rockers Spiders along for the ride:
