THIS CENTURY ONE OF ALTERNATIVE PRESS' '100 BANDS YOU NEED TO KNOW IN 2011' TO HEADLINE THE YOUNG & USELESS TOUR WITH GUESTS AUSTIN GIBBS AND CARTER HULSEY; TOUR KICKS OFF JULY 7 IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Phoenix, AZ’s This Century is hitting the road as headliner on The Young & Useless Tour with guests Austin Gibbs and Carter Hulsey. The trek kicks off on July 7 in Scottsdale, AZ and winds down on August 6 in San Diego, CA.

Formed while most of the members were still in high school, This Century has gone on to perform on the Vans Warped Tour and Bamboozle Left, as well as on tours with such acts as Good Charlotte, The Maine, Forever the Sickest Kids, Never Shout Never, Hey Monday and many more.

The band, named one of AP’s “100 Bands You Need to Know in 2011”, will be playing songs off all of their releases including their most recent, Sound of Fire, on Warner imprint, Action Theory Records, which debuted in the top 40 on iTunes. Front man Joel Kanitz says, “On this tour we're finally getting a chance to do what we want creatively with the show. We get the chance to make it an actual production rather than just play a 30 minute set. Fans can expect to see a lot more from us visually and they'll hear more songs than what they're used to with typical a TC show. Besides all of that, we'll be sticking around after the shows so we can hang and meet everyone. Should be a lot of fun!”

This Century is: Joel Kanitz: Vocals, Sean Silverman: Guitar, Ryan Gose: Drums, Alex Silverman: Bass Guitar.
