Combine that with Rej\u2019s ability to effortlessly fluctuate between angelic singing and hellish screaming, the on-point instrumentals, and the outfits\u2019 intimate and open stage presence, and you\u2019ll start to get a feel for what to expect. This time, they\u2019ll be hitting the road with dark-rock outfit, Lung. Beforehand they\u2019ll be stopping in at\u00a0SXSW\u00a0and\u00a0Treefort Fest, and while the tour is already slated to hit 25 venues there are more on the way. Full a full list of dates see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GRLwood have also recently unveiled the new video for their song,\u00a0<em>Get<\/em><strong> <\/strong><em>Shot<\/em>, to fans on Instagram. The song forces those who listen, and now watch, to acknowledge the despicable truth, \u201c<em>that by attending school, you put yourself at risk to be shot because of the laws in this country that protect guns, over children.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WARNING:<\/strong>&nbsp;This video contains graphic content.

Guns are ripping lives away from humanity like a diseased-plague. In GET SHOT, the flowers that bloom from the victims\u2019 mouths as they reanimate show the beauty that was robbed from them by guns. We reject the &#8220;good guy with gun&#8221; argument.&nbsp; Here is a \u201cgood guy with a good gun\u201d shooting people alive. Which is absolutely ridiculous! The end eviscerates this with everyone dropping back down to the ground, dead. This American delusion is brought to an abrupt end; guns destroy life.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It\u2019s devastating to think, that by attending school, young people, children put themselves at risk of being shot everyday.
