In the wake of their set on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, Scottish rockers Primal Scream have announced a UK tour in December 2013.
The band are hoping to further showcase their recent album More Light, which has decidedly political themes, in December this year. The reception of the album has been generally positive and it proves that the band still has what it takes after three decades.
Lead singer Bobby Gillespie said of the new album: "We haven't played that many gigs yet, but there's a lot of different subjects on the record. Songs like 'River Of Pain', 'Tenement Kid' and 'Walking With the Beast', they mean a lot to me and hopefully people can connect with them. If there's a message, it's educate yourself, question authority."
Although Gilespie has written the album in this way, he also said : "I don't think a rock'n'roll record is gonna cause any social upheavals. I don't think thats on the agenda any more."
