Last yar La Dispute released No One Was Driving the Car (Epitaph) -- now they head to Australia in October on a tour in support.
Six of the seven Australian dates are all ages, noted by vocalist Jordan Dreyer:
All of us were underage when we first started going to local shows at home in West Michigan, and still when attending them pushed us to start writing music together and playing our own. Without venues that were accessible to us, both as attendees and performers, the entire endeavour might’ve died on the vine, and we’d have lost out not only on an important creative outlet as young people, but a welcoming community too. Understanding that possibility, it’s been a priority always to keep our doors open to all comers where possible, so that anyone—including (or especially, really) younger people—have the same opportunities afforded to us at a crucial age.
July 15, 2026 update: A second Melboure show has been added (below).
