Two bands + two albums + two labels + one release date = a tour to remember? Let's try that one out: Oxford Collapse + Chin Up Chin Up + Remember the Night Parties + This Harness Can't Ride Anything (respectively) + Sub Pop + Suicide Squeeze (respectively) + October 10 =...oh look-- a tour to remember! Good math, dudes!

In honor of their upcoming releases, both Brooklyn's Oxford Collapse and Chicago's Chin Up Chin Up will collapse upward on the road together, joining forces in early October for a trek across the U.S.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and the two will split, only to meet again later in the month. During this time, Oxford Collapse will run with Portland's the Joggers, who recently announced a handful of tour dates (including one OC-less gig on September 9 at Portland's Musicfest Northwest Festival). Chin Up Chin Up will tag along for the previously reported Cursive/Thermals jaunt.
