Meet The Pandemics

How about some NYC ska? My friends in The Pandemics are putting out their new album Brain on Tap on Friday. You should all get it because it's good music and I did the artwork for it.

This tour is part of our 20th Anniversary Tour, a year-long celebration of the band's second decade together. This year has taken the band across the northeast, to South America, and across the pond to the UK and Europe so far.

We are currently supporting two recent releases, the Greetings From... andSeason's Greetings From... EPs, which came out in summer and February 2012, respectively. A Wilhelm Scream's last release was a self-titled five-song EP on Paper + Plastick Records in 2009, and the band is currently recording a new album. Junior Battles is supporting its Idle Ages full-length, released in summer 2011 on Paper + Plastick.
