While the album isn&#8217;t released until August 10th, the quartet are set for a busy summer ahead of its release.<\/p>\n<p>Besides a lengthy spell on the Vans Warped Tour stateside, they&#8217;re going to be spending the coming week travelling up and down the UK. Culminating with a headline spot on the Signature Brew stage at <strong>Slam Dunk<\/strong>, <strong>As It Is<\/strong> will be closing the chapter on everything they&#8217;ve done so far with a series of<em> &#8220;An Evening With\u2026&#8221;<\/em> shows leading up to next weekend&#8217;s festival.<\/p>\n<p>The four show run will see them play songs from their back catalogue in an intimate setting. To set the tone for the coming tour, we asked <strong>As It Is<\/strong> to curate a list of their favourite stripped-back songs.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;These intimate acoustic shows are going to be so incredibly special, featuring reimagined versions of our songs and all the untold stories behind them. This playlist includes all the stripped-back songs that we love and inspired this set.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/user\/alreadyhearduk\/playlist\/7bwsvI9zyxir40ecuTDdJu\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;The Great Depression&#8217;<\/em> by <strong>As It Is<\/strong> is released on 10th August on <strong>Fearless Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As It Is<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/asitisofficial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/asitisofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASITISofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/asitisofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>As It Is<\/strong> will be playing the Signature Brew stage at the\u00a0<strong>Slam Dunk Festival<\/strong>\u00a0on the following dates:<\/p>\n<p>May<br \/>\nSat 26 City Centre, Leeds &#8211;
