When Phoenix metalcore band The Word Alive told a New Times reporter it was "about time" the year-old band got signed it was clear the guys were either really smart or really cocky.
It's apparently the former: The band's new full-length, Deceiver, landed at #96 on the Billboard Top 100. They're not quite moving Maine-type units yet, but it's still pretty impressive.
The band just started a tour with Bleeding Through, and will follow up with an international (well, here and Canada) tour with with Miss May I. That tour comes to The Clubhouse in Tempe on November 13. Full tour dates below.
