Hollywood’s newest rock’n’roll up-and-comers The Bites have announced their first UK headline tour. The tour will start in Milton Keynes at The Craufurd Arms on 28th November and will run alongside their festival appearances at Winter Rocks in Sheffield and Planet Rock Radio’s Planet Rockstock in Trecco Bay, where they will share the main stage with the likes of Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. The band will also appear at record stores across the country with a stripped back set and album signing, and will perform a full electric out-store show with an album signing at The Jacaranda in Liverpool. Full dates are below. Tickets can be found here.

Frontman Jordan Tyler comments: ”We are beyond excited to finally tour the UK. It’ll be a first time experience for most of us, so needless to say we’re ready to tear it up. So much of our influence comes from UK rock and roll, so being able to follow in their literal footsteps and be on their stomping grounds is going to be incredible. Considering how much airplay we’ve had on UK radio, it’s gonna be such a blast to meet our fans who’ve been supporting us since ‘Do Me a Favor‘ dropped. We’re comin’ for ya!”

The announcement follows The Bites‘ August tour with Small Town Titans in the US and has been much anticipated thanks to their radio hit ‘Do Me a Favor‘, which became the #1 most played track on Planet Rock’s airplay chart alongside a Kerrang! Radio playlist spot. Additionally, Louder Sound named the band as one of ’10 new artists who are going to set 2023 on fire’ and Classic Rock magazine featuring them in the High Hopes spot of their September 2023 issue.

The Bites have also released their new video ‘Good Love‘ alongside the announcement – a track taken from their debut album ‘Squeeze‘ and a spectacle of the band’s renowned live show exuberance as they allow fans a peek into their live rehearsals.

Dropping jaws with their monster hybrid of breath-taking garage rock rhythms, gargantuan choruses, unashamedly retro style and, above all, their dedication to making every live show an undeniable excuse to party, The Bites released their debut album ‘Squeeze‘ on 15th September 2023. ‘Squeeze‘ resurrects the style, hop and swagger of early rock’n’roll, displaying the no-nonsense attitude of The Hives and the sheer recklessness of Mötley Crüe. Fans of new rockers Greta Van Fleet, Dirty Honey and The Struts will also delight in the emergence of The Bites.

Having watched his profile on TikTok (@jordantylerbites) blow up, with over 2.2 million likes amassed on his music-obsessing ‘Toks and classic rock covers, Jordan felt compelled to follow his true passion of creating original music and so he founded The Bites with LA drummer, producer extraordinaire and long-time friend Mark Hylander. The duo are joined by guitarists Dustin Coon and Jono Richer, and bassist Zack Currier to round out the sound.

“Putting this record, ‘Squeeze‘, together, I really wanted to create something timeless. The stigma of “rock is dead” has been so blown out of proportion. All the music we grew up with from the rock legends of the 60s, 70s and 80s, we’ve heard over and over again to the point where it’s become a part of us. We want to give fans something special with ‘Squeeze‘, when you hear this album in full, for the first time, hopefully it’ll give you the excitement and joy of albums that you’ve been listening to for decades. It’s gonna get in your bones, baby!” Jordan testifies.

‘Squeeze‘ is out now and available to purchase at earache.com/thebites on limited edition colour vinyl, signed zebra print CD with handwritten lyric sheets, signed vinyl and more.
