Destroy The Runner cancels European tour

Destroy The Runner has cancelled the remainder of their European tour. Here's a statement from the band: "We write to inform you that unfortunately we have decided to cancel the second half of our European dates including all shows in Belgium, Italy and Germany. "After arriving in the UK and playing a string of about 6 shows throughout England and Wales we quickly realized that the tour had been put together in a very unorganized and unprofessional manner. The shows were poorly promoted, our rented van was literally a death trap on wheels in which we feared for our lives in, we were losing money and felt that it would be in our best interest, for our future and morale, to fly home early. Had the tour been put together better we would have loved being there. But the list of problems we ran into was literally to much to express. "However, we DO very much appreciate each and every one of you that came out to our shows in the UK. It is our passion to play music and we love doing so for you, even if there are only 3 of you. Haha. "And to those in Europe, we sincerely apologize for the cancellations. This is NOT the only time we were planning on coming overseas so keep your chins up because we WILL be back on a better tour, playing better venues. You can count on it!"

"The level of catering and groupies weren't up to our standards. Also, the police didn't make all of the locals drive on the right side of the road to accommodate our visit."
