The Menzingers biografia

The Menzingers is an American punk rock band hailing from Scranton Pennsylvania, US, forming out of the remnants of popular local ska bands, Bob and the Sagets and Kos Mos.

The band came together in 2006, consisting of the four members Greg Barnett (guitar/vocals), Tom May (guitar/vocals), Eric Keen (bass) and Joe Godino (drums). The band impressed with their self-titled demo released in 2006, gaining the attention of record label Go-Kart Records, who brought the band onto their roster.

A year later, The Menzingers had released their debut album, titled "A Lesson in the Abuse of Information Technology," which made significant waves in the punk world, finding new fans, achieving a sound similar to the likes of the Lawrence Arms. The band moved to Red Scare Industries in 2009 to release their four-song EP, "Hold on Dodge," before then embarking upon a tour alongside Broadway Calls.

In 2010, they released their second full-length, "Chamberlain Waits," which went on to be named one of the best punk records of the year by sites like Punknews.org, Absolutepunk.net and Exclaim.ca. The success of the record also gained them a front-cover appearance on AMP Magazine. The album brought the respect of their peers, embarking on support slots for The Gaslight Anthem, Against Me!, NOFX and ANTI-FLAG across the US and Canada.

With hype building, Epitaph Records signed the act, going on to release their third album through the popular punk label, titled "On the Impossible Past, released in 2012. The album was voted album of the year on a number of online media outlets, including Absolutepunk.net. "Rented World" followed, being released in April 2014.

Avaliações

Hailing from Scranton in Pennsylvania The Menzingers are currently at the fore front of a new breed of punk rock bands. Punk rock bands that combine the energy and in your face attitude of their influences but also a higher degree of musicianship that make their songs stand out not just live but also on record.

A Menzingers live show is always one of the hottest tickets in town and rightly so. They are fantastic at what they do and put a huge amount of energy and passion into their performances however the real stars at a Menzingers gig are the crowd themselves. There are few live bands that garner as much enthusiasm from the crowd as The Menzingers.

The sing-along’s are huge, so much so that often lead singer Greg Barnett is not heard over the noise of the crowd. It’s not just singing where the crowd get majorly involved though. From an outsider looking in the front of the stage at a Menzingers gig can look like a car crash. Bodies fly everywhere. Members of the crowd will quite regularly end up on the stage, much to the bands delight before diving back into the crowd. That’s not something that should put people off seeing them though; the number one rule at any punk show is look after the people around you, if you see someone down help them get back up.

I urge anyone to go and check The Menzingers out when they are near your town. It will be one of the best gigs you have ever been too. I’ve seen them four times now and everyone has been a classic!
