Dinosaur Pile-Up recently released their debut album 'Growing Pains' to critical acclaim, with Rock Sound referring to them as "one of the UK's hottest new rock bands". As a result, DPU will be heading out on the road as part of the magazine's first ever Exposure Tour which will see them share a rotating headline slot with fellow Brit rockers Japanese Voyeurs and The Xcerts.

ROCK SOUND magazine has been a massivechampion of new music since it first launched in 1999. Editor Darren Taylor says: "We're really proud to have three of the best new bands in the UK on board to kick off the inaugural Rock Sound Exposure Tour and every night is going to be an absolute blast."
