Check out The Menzingers as our Band of the Day

January 6, 2015

Today our featured band is The Menzingers and they are incredible. They have this true old school punk rock sound wrapped in an indie rock vibe. They are definitely a breath of fresh in air in the music scene today and they have been garnering quite a lot of high praises. Their song, I Don’t Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore really grabbed my attention from the first time I heard it.

The music became our playlist of our life and that is exactly how I can see The Menzingers being that for the youth of today.
