The Menzingers unveil a deep cut and some live dates

Posted by Loren on March 11, 2023

The Menzingers are playing along the Northeastern US in May. Along with the tour dates (below), the band has also relased a new single, "Bad Actors," which was shared as part of the official "Eagles Gameday Series Soundtrack" and played in varied events related to the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl run. The band, notable, calls Pennsylvania home.

"Bad Actors" was written for the Hello Exile album (2019). “It’s one of the last songs we wrote for the album and finished it in the studio. It’s an ode to a dear old friend that passed," says Tom May. The band followed with a reimagined version of the record, From Exile, in 2020.

The Menzingers Tour Dates:

05.05 - Liverpool, NY - Sharkeys

05.06 - Worcester, MA - The Palladium

05.07 - Portland, ME - Aura

05.11 - Buffalo, NY - Town Ballroom

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. Not only do they put on a hell of a live show, but their records resonate weeks, months, years after listening to them. A punk band that manages to stay relevant, it's impressive. The Menzingers are a band that … Read more
