SUMO CYCO’s powerhouse frontwoman Skye “Sever” Sweetnam says: “We are headed out on our longest tour of the USA to date and couldn’t be more excited! It’s the tour our fans have been relentlessly asking us to do. We are absolutely thrilled to join our friends in Butcher Babies and Nonpoint who we’ve toured with before overseas, and with Cane Hill on the bill as well, this line up is undeniable.

About SUMO CYCO:
The Hamilton, Ontario four-piece is fronted by former teen sensation, Juno nominee, and Capitol Records artist Skye Sweetnam, but SUMO CYCO have proven they are nothing but uniquely authentic. Reincarnating as her alter ego, “Sever”, Sweetnam left her bubble-gum past behind and embraced her true calling – heavy rock with an electrifying twist.
To date, SUMO CYCO have released two full-length albums, Lost in Cyco City and OPUS MAR.Not only have they gained high traction by self-directing and producing grindhouse-esque movie videos (attracting over 2.6 million YouTube views and counting), they have all received awards such as “Best Female-Fronted” band at the Toronto Independent Music Awards, top finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, Indie Week Canada “Best of the Fest” (prize included a trip to play Indie Week Ireland) in 2014 as well as Best Hard/Loud Recording at the Hamilton Music Awards 2015.
