WE ARE TOURING THE US OF A! The Raging Nathans “Heavy-driving low end holding down fuzz-filled bratty pop hooks coupled with bummer party lyrics about relationships and altered states. When three of the best and most consistent record labels are coming together to release your three-piece from Dayton, OH’s first full-length, you know you’re on to something” https://radgirlfriendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-raging-nathans-losing-it
New Regrets “With a distorted and slightly gruff sound, backed with a steadily fast pace from start to finish, this is nothing but straight-to-the-point punk rock. Negative Approach meets Fear, packed with deep, cutthroat, and growling vocals.” Plus Ed froim Toxic Reasons as frontman. https://newregrets.bandcamp.com/

Xtra Medium tries its best to be a safer space and there’s no tolerance for racism/transphobia/homophobia/general dickish things. Also sorry to be a kill joy but Xtra Medium is a alcohol free zone as for the place is a buisness before it’s a venue.
WONK UNIT (London, England) – UK skate/pop punk. These guys are insane and sound like Millencolin, which I googled to see if anyone else has made that comparison and it turns out they just toured with Millencolin. Neat. https://wonk-unit.bandcamp.com/album/nervous-racehorse

A STATEMENT ABOUT THE UK TOUR FROM SLAVES:
—
“Hello everybody. As some of you may know I dislocated my shoulder whilst performing the other night. I went to hospital and they put it back in for me but I am now in a sling and do not have much mobility in my arm. The doctor said I can’t drum for the next few weeks or there is a good chance it will come out again and cause some serious long term damage. Therefore we are going to have to pull out of the remaining shows of our November UK tour and they will be rescheduled to the dates below in January. All your tickets will still be valid and we will all have a very nice time together, just not yet. I’m very sorry. Totally gutted but I guess shit happens doesn’t it. Love to you all. Isaac xxx”
