The Menzingers Announce European Tour in Sep/Oct 2012

             After appearing at Groezrock and Monster Bash and supporting the Bouncing Souls on their European dates earlier this year, The Menzingers have announced they will return to Europe in September for a run of headline dates. The Philadelphia based punk rock outfit will kick off their tour in Birmingham on September 19th. Tickets for all shows are on sale now.

              The band’s dynamic crowd pleasing live performances have created a serious buzz around the globe the last few years. On the upcoming tour they will be supporting their previously released Epitaph debut On The Impossible Past. The album was recorded at Atlas Studios in Chicago with longtime collaborators Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms) and Justin Yates. It retains all the raw vital energy of the band’s earlier output, while adding some powerful new twists to the group’s inspirational literary-minded melodic punk sound.
