Another new KEN MODE track, Your Heartwarming Story Makes me Sick surfaced online. Listen here!

Regarding the new song, front man Jesse Matthewson said,

“This particular song is almost a cliche in itself, in that it pokes fun at both the classic cookie cutter, worker-bee, pie in the sky dream and some of said people’s views on anyone who thinks outside of said paradigm, and the melodramatic antithesis of the counter culture rebel. Musically, I wanted to hear Kittens if they were a hardcore band with breakdowns. Throw your cowboy hat into the pit and get wild.”

KEN MODE recently streamed another new track from Entrench, entitled The Terror Pulse, here. Furthermore, the new singles are available at your demand on The Welding Room radio program every Monday night. Post your death threats/complaints here on .com or in the http://www.rockdefradio.com live chat.

On March 19, Entrench will be available in North America as a CD and double LP (available in black, green, and orange) with a download card at the Season of Mist E-shop.

KEN MODE also announced a full North American tour for March and April with TODAY IS THE DAY, BLACK TUSK, and FIGHT AMP.
