Get Hyped. We have a double dose of good news hitting the airwaves today. Are you ready?

Manic Focus is pleased to announce his first headline tour complete with 40-city roster and a brand new track from his forthcoming 2016 album release. If that’s not enough to set the tone for one hell of a good year, I’m not sure what is.

The tour kicks off tonight in Boca Raton, FL and you can bet that there will be some extra special festival dates squeezed in there. He’s bringing out Chill Harris (fka Kill Paris), Wick-it The Instigator, Marvel Years, and more.

More importantly, to get us stoked, we get a peek at what’s in store for the new album courtesy of “Sowing My Zone.” This track is magic and shows without a doubt, that John McCarten will be one of the artists to watch of 2016. We get relaxed pads rolling over cool vocal samples bouncing around undeniably talented drum work. The whole package drips with the promise of summer’s endless nights of best friends and bass.

Prepare yourself. Keep it locked at The Untz for the complete list of tour dates and all the latest on the full album release coming soon.
