Tracer's "Best New Band" win follows the news of their forthcoming April 2013 UK tour."I'm absolutely stoked about winning the Classic Rock Award for Best New Band," says Brown. "It still blows my mind that we are creating and playing music we love and people are responding to it and we're getting awards for it!" Tracer start recording their second album with producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Silverchair, Cold Chisel), at his studio in Malibu later this month. The album will be released by Mascot Records in March 2013, and will dovetail their UK tour in April. Tracer's 2013 UK Tour starts Tuesday 9 April.
