New Album From The Menzingers – And One Off UK Date

• 7th Feb 2012

Rising punk rock band The Menzingers have announced a one-off headline date in the UK this Spring following their appearances at Groezrock festival and Monster Bash in Belgium and Germany respectively.

They will play Kingston’s Fighting Cocks venue on 5th May in what is sure to be a momentous, if sweaty, occasion. The band’s rousing sound featuring crashing power chords, rock steady drumming and anthemic sing-along choruses alongside powerfully poetic everyman lyrics is exemplified on their Epitaph Records debut On The Impossible Past which is out on February 20th.

On The Impossible Past was recorded at Atlas Studios in Chicago with longtime collaborators Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms) and Justin Yates. While the record retains all the raucous spirit of the band's earlier efforts sonically, it's a monumental step forward.

It’s undoubtedly been an exciting time for The Menzingers, touring with acts like Against Me! and The Gaslight Anthem as well as playing their own headlining shows to enthusiastic audiences and the band wouldn't change it for the world. Most recently, the band have been on tour in the US, playing arenas with Rise Against and A Day To Remember.
