The Menzingers

At this point, the Menzingers are an absolute institution. The Philadelphia punk legends’ multi-decade reputation as road warriors with an unbeatable catalog is cemented as hard truth—and their seventh album, Some Of It Was True, stands as their most immediate-sounding and energetic record to date. The follow-up to 2019’s sensational Hello Exile accomplishes the daunting task of capturing the Menzingers’ distinctive live energy in the confines of the studio, resulting in a sound that’s both rich, raw, and complementary to the group’s increasingly prismatic songwriting approach. More than 15 years in, the Menzingers are still holding their listeners square in the immediate present, and Some Of It Was True documents that power in thrilling fashion.

I Am The Avalanche are a Brooklyn-based punk band led by Vinnie Caruana (The Movielife), blending melodic intensity with raw honesty since their explosive 2005 debut. Known for their anthemic choruses and impassioned live shows, the band has become a cornerstone of the East Coast punk scene. After a few quiet years, they’ve hinted at a new chapter ahead—teasing fresh music set for release on Equal Vision Records in 2026.
