Cults Announce 2012 Tour

It’s pretty easy to say that 2011 was a breakout year for New York-based duo Cults. Their album was our 19th best album of the year and their single “Go Outside” was one of our top 10 songs of the year. Now the band looks to start 2012 with an extensive tour kicking off on New Year’s Eve, which will include a stint of shows at the Laneway Festival in Australia.
