We Were Promised Jetpacks To Perform On Last Call With Carson Daly Tonight Sophomore Album In The Pit Of The Stomach Out Now

We Were Promised Jetpacks will make their late night television debut tonight on Last Call With Carson Daly . The band will be performing "Boy in the Backseat" and "Medicine" from their sophomore album In The Pit Of The Stomach out now on FatCat.
We Were Promised Jetpacks just completed a U.S. tour in support of their new album In The Pit Of The Stomach.  We Were Promised Jetpacks sophomore album is a huge leap forward from their debut – full of prickly ambition and grand-scale vision, sure, but with no shortage of the hooks and personal engagement that have earned their debut – and, indeed, their powerful, wrenching live shows – such a wide and devoted following. From the thundering first attack of lead-off track “Circles & Squares,” to the album’s first single, the dark, driving anthem “Medicine”, to slow-burning, triumphant “Sore Thumb” and the whip-smart, angular “Human Error” - In The Pit Of The Stomach is a fiery, atmospheric listen.
With their sophomore LP, We Were Promised Jetpacks have transcended even the very high expectations created by their beloved debut and subsequent tireless, much-buzzed touring; In The Pit Of The Stomach is, quite simply, a brilliant achievement from this young, exceptional group.
We Were Promised Jetpacks will return to the U.S. this spring for a tour which will include a stop at Austin's SXSW Music Festival. 
"We Were Promised Jetpacks' second album tightens the craggy fuzz of their first, revealing twisty post-punk songs with chewy pop centers." - Spin
"The result is a sophomore effort that deserves to be played loudly--and often." - Filter
"Their darkest and most complex work yet, In the Pit of the Stomach unleashes We Were Promised Jetpacks' full fury with impressive results." - All Music Guide
