Those gigs are: September 18th at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles and September 24th at Warsaw in Brooklyn. These are the band's first shows in over ten years. They did not state new material is in the works, but in a press release, Cassie Ramone stated: "We’re making some sick new merch that I am stoked about. Other than that, I’m just hoping I can relearn the songs as well as I used to know them at this point!” We'll keep you updated.
<p>We have to say that, on the surface, it feels pretty dumb to make a Transformers prequel. And look, we’re not insulting fans here who have a vested interest in seeing the weird lore of the pre-Earth adventures of Orion Pax (Optimus Prime) and D-16 (Megatron) as they go from best bros to enemies on the machine world of Cybertron. What we mean is that it’s weird to try and make it for a general audience — after all, the […]</p>

<p>Earlier today we were compiling this week’s On Sale listings at Brighton Music Hall, and one inspiring pairing surfaced just after press time: A joint tour from Spiritual Cramp and White Reaper, which kicks off June 17 at the Allston venue. At first we were wondering what led the San Francisco punk band and the Louisville garage rock dudes (they of “Judy French,” a Top 10 banger of the past decade, no questions asked) to join forces on the road, […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Winnipeg-based emo punks Screaming at Traffic! The video is for their new song “General Ken O.B.” and was filmed and edited by bassist Paul Colman. Speaking about the song and video the band said, “The idea behind ‘General Ken O.B.’ is self-destruction. The perspective we're exploring is someone in the midst of a bender, trying to justify it to themselves. They start off almost regretful but quickly give in to their worst tendencies. I think it's something a lot of people do, and while exploring giving that thought process a voice, I imagined it'd be cynical, sarcastic, and maybe even a little tongue-in-cheek. For the video, we originally had the idea of doing something super DIY, and we looked at other DIY type projects and decided the found footage horror motif fit really well with the song. The whole tune is about self-destruction, teetering on the edge of it, and giving into it, and we thought we could capture that thought with the idea of us disappearing one by one throughout the night. It was directed and edited by our bass player, Paul, and we just brainstormed how we could make something fun, kind of spooky, and as stripped down as possible. The entire thing was shot in one night, without a crew of any kind beyond the four of us.” “General Ken O.B.” will hit streaming services tomorrow and is off their upcoming album If You Play These Songs At A Party You’ll Bum Everyone Out which will be out everywhere on May 4. Screaming at Traffic will be playing Turbo Haus as part of Pouzza Fest on May 17 in Montreal, Quebec. Watch the video below!
