The Devil Wears Prada Kick Off Napalm & Noise Tour

Armed with the critically-acclaimed CD, With Roots Above and Branches Below which was released earlier this year, The Devil Wears Prada kicked off the 2009 edition of the Napalm & Noise Tour last night in Rochester, New York at the Water Street Music Hall.

The band will co-headline the month-long metal extravaganza with All That Remains. Story Of The Year and Haste The Day provide heavy-weight support, making this a "must see" tour for any and all metal fans.

Napalm & Noise is the first tour TDWP has headlined since their 43-date, completely-sold-out jaunt last Spring, which coincided with the release of With Roots Above and Branches Below (Ferret Music), and its #11 debut on the Billboard Top 200 Albums charts. Since then, the band played the Vans Warped Tour Main Stage, and found itself on the cover of Outburn, Alternative Press, HM and AMP, to name just a few. - more on this story
