NEWS: Cola announce new European tour dates and ‘Deep in View’ deluxe edition

Canadian Art Rockers Cola are set to be busy in 2023, with confirmation of a large UK and EU tour and the release of a deluxe edition of their critically-lauded debut album Deep in View. The album which came out on Fire Talk Records – home to bands such as Mandy, Indiana, Bnny and Dehd – made our top 100 of 2022 and was the sound of a band playing to their collective strengths.

The Deluxe Edition features an array of instrumentals, demos and alternate versions of songs from the record, including a new version of ‘Landers’, that the trio have shared to help promote the release. You can see the beautifully aquatic video below.

Consisting of former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy alongside Evan Cartwright of US Girls/The Weather Station, Cola have built a reputation on their incendiary and ultra-tight live shows. The band return to touring the EU in May and hit the UK towards the back end of the month. Confirmed dates are as follows:
