SWAMI AND THE BED OF NAILS featuring Swami John Reis (Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Rocket From The Crypt, PLOSIVS) follow the release of debut album ‘All Of This Awaits You’ by announcing their first UK and Irish tour, beginning in Bristol, September 17, ending in London, September 28.

Produced by Reis and mixed by Ben Moore, ‘All Of This Awaits You’ was the result of the final Hot Snakes writing sessions in 2023, the nine-song album coming during a challenging time of reflection and redirection for Reis following the passing of longtime friend and bandmate, Rick Froberg.

“I’ve never thought much of self-reflection, at least not the deep kind,” said Reis. “I dunno, I think I felt that kind of introspection would somehow derail my rock n roll instincts and objective. My goal has always been to make explosive music, exciting records, play meaningful shows, shake hands, kiss babies and then repeat. I never treated anything I did artistically as being precious. There is always going to be a next thing that I would hopefully love even more.”
