The Menzingers


The Menzingers are a punk rock band from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Biography

Forming in the wake of Scranton ska-punk bands "Bob and the Sagets" (featuring Tom May, Joe Godino, and Eric Keen) and Kos Mos (featuring Greg Barnett), The Menzingers' first release was a self-titled demo tape made in 2006, which made its way onto many top ten lists of that year.[1] Their debut full length, A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology (released on Go Kart Records), was produced by Jesse Cannon (Say Anything, The Cure, Lifetime). According to Cannon, "I record bands everyday and almost all of them are missing something. The Menzingers have it all, the songs, the aggression, the heart and the passion that most only dream of." In 2009, the band released 4-song EP titled Hold on, Dodge! through Red Scare Records and was their first vinyl release (including a 600-copy olive vinyl[2])

Touring

The band is currently touring with Broadway Calls and O Pioneers.
