Punk/hardcore luminaries OFF! are set to return this October, bringing their short, sharp bolts of noise back to the UK for the first time since the summer of 2012. Following the release this week of their highly-anticipated new album ‘Wasted Years’ via Vice Records, led by former Black Flag/Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris, OFF! have cranked their blasts of rage and energy up a notch to maximum effect. Recorded live to 8-track half-inch tape at the quartet’s practice space, ‘Wasted Years’ is simply the most direct and in-your-face realization of OFF!’s mission yet. The album is available to buy on iTunes.
Support on all UK dates will come from regular touring partners Cerebral Ballzy, whose snotty New York hardcore rock n’roll is the perfect accompaniment to OFF!’s hardcore rage. Duck for cover at the following dates:
October
2nd Bristol The Exchange
3rd London Oslo
4th Sheffield Queens Social Club
5th Glasgow King Tuts
7th Leeds Belgrave Music Hall
8th Brighton The Haunt
