We’re excited to announce that The Arrivals will be playing two shows this December, one in Minneapolis and another in Chicago. Since 2013, they’ve only performed twice, (in San Diego at Awesome Fest in 2016 and last winter at Ian’s Party). In 2010, they released their latest full-length and fourth overall, Volatile Molotov. The album is unmistakably the band’s most complete effort, combining various genres and really evolving punk in a way that few bands have. And it sounds just as relevant and urgent today as it did when it was released. Expect their sets to feature many songs from this record, along with some old favorites and perhaps some surprises from Exsenator Orange or Marvels of Industry. The first show is scheduled for Friday, December 27th in Minneapolis at Mortimer’s. The second will take place on Saturday, December 28th at Reggies in Chicago. That show starts at 7:00 PM, is 17+ and tickets go on sale this Friday.

With that said, this is sure to be an album that’s embraced by diehard fans and newcomers alike. Last month, Strung Out played Reggie’s and we spoke with drummer Jordan Burns before the show. We talked at length about what it was like recording Transmission.Alpha.Delta. We also discussed the record’s style, its writing process, the band’s upcoming European tour and more. Continue Reading…
