Guitarist Chris Letchford commented on “Their Strings Are Voices:” \u00a0“I am very excited to announce our first ever headlining tour! We decided to go with only one support band for this tour so that we are able to ensure our fans\u00a0that they’ll be getting a full set from us each night. Since it’s our first headliner, we’ll be playing tracks from all three full lengths: “Monument”,\u00a0“Carving Desert Canyons” and our most recent release, “The Collective”. Support for this tour is Elitist, a young band from California; all very talented and\u00a0proficient players and a great addition to the bill. We will also be having a few locals open the show each night. Make sure to not miss this tour and come\u00a0out early to support your local music scene! See you guys on the road! \u00a0If you guys are interested in choosing the songs that we play, please go and check out the poll, now!”<\/p>\n

SCALE THE SUMMIT formed in 2005 while attending the Musicians’ Institute in Los Angeles. The band relocated to Texas in 2006, where they recorded their first, self-released album. After signing with Prosthetic, they released “Carving Desert Canyons”, which Revolver called,\u00a0“a cinematic blast of intricately melodic fretwork and pummeling percussion,” in 2009.<\/p>\n

The band,\u00a0who received praise from Guitar World for their “tightly-woven guitar interplay, irregular time signatures and tasteful licks,”\u00a0has toured with the likes of PROTEST THE HERO, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, FAIR TO MIDLAND, CYNIC, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and were handpicked by DREAM THEATER to participate in the 2009 installment of their famed “Progressive Nation” festival tour. SCALE THE SUMMIT has also been featured prominently in Guitar Player magazine, and has tracks available for the Rock Band video game through the Rock Band Network. Chris Letchford was featured in Metal Sucks’ “Top 25 Modern Guitarists” list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
