One of our favourite bands iLiKETRAiNS have just announced a new tour of Europe and the UK, saying that they see it as a chance to rail test new material.

A spokesperson for the group said: "It is with great pleasure, that after a period of hard work behind the scenes, iLiKETRAiNS are making plans to take a short trip around Europe and Britain. We will be taking this chance to reaquaint ourselves with some old friends, make some new ones, and to road test some new songs. The dates can be found below."

They said they were also parting ways with cornet player Ashley Dean, who was also responsible for some of the band's amazing visual content. They wish him all the luck and said people can stay abreast of his future projects at Broken Pixel
