The Menzingers Announce 7th Studio Album

More than 15 years in, Philadelphia punk rockers The Menzingers have announced their seventh studio album, Some Of It Was True, due for release on October 13th via Epitaph Records.

Vocalist and guitarist Greg Barnett reveals, “Written over the last two and a half years in hotels, backstages, basements, and rehearsal rooms and recorded during a life-changing retreat down south, Some Of It Was True is the most realized version of what Menzingers set out to do when we started this band 17 years ago—have fun and be ourselves.”

The band also shares the record’s lead single, “Hope Is A Dangerous Little Thing”. Listen below!

The Menzingers

After The Party
Epitaph (2017)

The Menzingers are a four-piece punk band from Scranton, PA, sharing the same hometown as band sibling Tigers Jaw. Although not musically the same, The Menzingers have a similar lyrical purpose to The Smiths: to tell detailed, emotional narratives about everyday people. Except, instead of about middle-aged well-read women and ambiguously gay recluses, it’s about 20-somethings sporting tattoos of high … Read more

After The Party
Epitaph (2017)

For the past 7 or so years I have been saying that The Menzingers are the best current punk band around.

The Menzingers are a band that … Read more
