THE HEADLINER
Get ready to crank up the volume and let loose with The Menzingers, a punk rock band from Philadelphia who has been tearing up stages since their teenage years back in 2006.
The Menzingers have earned a reputation as rough-and-tumble storytellers, weaving tales of high-school hell-raising, troubled relationships, aging and alcohol, and political ennui. But don’t worry, they don’t take themselves too seriously – their irrepressible spirit shines through in every song.
The Menzingers will be taking you on a roller coaster of energy at their show on Sunday, May 7th at Aura.
