Formed in the East Bay, California in 2018, Charger is releasing their self-titled EP now on Pirates Press Records.

The 7-song affair showcases the metallic-tinged punk trio's sound. Comprised of Andrew McGee, Matt Freeman (Rancid), and Jason Willer (Jello Biafra’s Guantanamo School of Medicine), the members have punk discrographies to date but pull from Motörhead-style metal in the new project.

Charger tour dates:

05/17/2019 - Eli’s Mile High Club - Record Release Show

07/07/2019 - San Francisco, CA - Bottom Of The Hill w/ Black Cobra

 

Self-Titled EP track listing:

Crackdown
Victim
Damage
All Kings Must Die
Pray For Light
Fall Out
Dragdown
