Bruce Peninsula announce the release of sophomore album 'Open Flames,' get set to tour the East coast

by Nicole Villeneuve

After announcing the Bruce Trail Fire Sale music series earlier this year as a stopgap while vocalist Neil Haverty completed cancer treatment and recovery, Toronto’s Bruce Peninsula have finally confirmed that their much-anticipated new album Open Flames will be released on October 4 via Hand Drawn Dracula.

With Haverty’s cancer in remission (he was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in December 2010), the band is also set to tour behind the new album and has announced a slew of dates for September (Ontario) and October (the Maritimes, including a stop at the Halifax Pop Explosion).

Full Tour dates as well as a sneak peek at some goosebump-giving music from Open Flames can be found below.
