Begun as a solo project that highlighted guitarist Tosin Abasi‘s unmistakable shredding, Animals as Leaders released its debut album via Prosthetic Records in April of 2009, emitting progressive instrumentals with tasteful ambient and electronic undertones. The group, now a trio, currently is touring the country with Thursday and Underoath, and ALARM contributing photographer David Summers recently joined them on some Midwest dates to grab some shots — in Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Detroit from February 9-12.
Saw these dudes in Pittsburgh @ Club Zoo. Loved them, and then picked upi their CD. =)
