Scranton-raised, Philadelphia-based punk rock outfit The Menzingers drop their Epitaph debut’ On The Impossible Past’ this February, after two acclaimed albums on small indies. The band’s fiery early releases and dynamic live performances supporting Anti Flag and Against Me! have created a serious buzz and landed the group on several best of lists.

The band caught the attention of Epitaph founder and President Brett Gurewitz, who says, “These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with. They are seriously talented songwriters and I’m happy to welcome them to the Epitaph family. I think the band is a great fit here”. Their high energy sound features crashing power chords, rock steady drumming and anthemic sing-along choruses alongside poetic salt of the earth lyrics in the vein of Against Me! and Gaslight Anthem.

Recorded and produced at Atlas Studios with long-time collaborators Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, The Lawrence Arms) and Justin Yates.

The Menzingers have shared the stage with the likes of Against Me! and Anti-Flag.
Previous album ‘Chamberlain Waits’ was voted the #1 album of 2010 by Punknews.org
