The Menzingers in Portland

The Menzingers are an American punk rock band formed in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 2006. They became closely associated with melodic, story-driven punk through albums including On the Impossible Past and After the Party, and songs such as “Good Things,” “The Obituaries” and “I Don’t Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore.” The 2017 tour behind After the Party featured Jeff Rosenstock and Rozwell Kid. The band later toured behind Hello Exile with Tigers Jaw and Culture Abuse, while the 2023 run for Some of It Was True included Cloud Nothings and Rodeo Boys. The Menzingers perform as a four-piece electric band, built around the alternating lead vocals of guitarists Greg Barnett and Tom May.
