The Xcerts announce 10th anniversary celebrations for ‘In The Cold Wind We Smile’
The Scottish band have announced a reissue of their debut and November/December tour dates!
Another day, another 10th anniversary celebration to remind us how fucking quickly time goes. Way back in March 2009, Aberdeen-formed The Xcerts released their debut album ‘In The Cold Wind We Smile’ and now they’ve announced plans to celebrate the record’s 10th birthday!
“To think it’s been 10 years since the release of our debut record is pretty wild,” Murray MacLeod says. “It’s been a hell of a journey and the fact we are still an active band who are able to reissue a record for an anniversary is really cool. We’re currently in the studio working on our new album but we’ve been knee deep in nostalgia putting together the reissue and we’re really looking forward to playing the album in its entirety throughout November/December. We haven’t played some of these songs since the release of the record so it’s going to be a trip but we’re stoked to hit the road and turn up the amplifiers in celebration.”
To commence celebrations, the trio will be releasing a limited reissue of a remastered version of ‘In The Cold Wind We Smile’, with a cheeky bonus digital album of 13 extra tracks including unreleased songs, live versions, early demos and more!
