Following Infernal Tenebra, and Wormrot, and a host of SXSW bands, it looks like Loudness is the latest casualty in the music scene to stricter U.S. travel rules.

The band was scheduled to kick off a U.S. trek today. While nothing official has been posted by the band itself, the venue Reggie's Rock Club in Chicago has stated Loudness will not be appearing tonight and issued the following statement:

"Due to the new strict policies the US government has placed on foreigners entering the country, Loudness was denied entry into the United States and sent back home this morning. All shows on the US tour are canceled. Refunds for Wednesday's show will be issued at original point of sale. Local bands Hessler, Pipe and Ironfinger will still play a FREE show Wednesday night, so come out and party!"

The Loudness Facebook profile hasn't been updated at this point and still lists the rest of the U.S. shows, but anyone planning on attending should contact the venues directly as it appears this tour is now off.
