BEACH SLANG
at Triple Rock Social Club
Monday, 04/25/16, 6pm ($13/$15)

Philadelphia’s Beach Slang is back in town... this time headlining the Triple Rock Social Club, next Monday, April 25th. You might recall that we caught the band when they opened up for Tommy Stinson in September 2015 and noted that “you can tell right away that singer James Alex was really excited to tour with Tommy Stinson, even adding that "Every record I own is from here" (without naming bands, but we can imagine the Replacements, Prince and Hüsker Dü).”

Beach Slang’s music evokes the spirit of punk and juxtaposes it into something that's as brutally honest as it is infectiously catchy. Their live show is full of energy and after support other acts on the road, it's nice to see them have their own tour.

“Band to Watch” Potty Mouth and Dyke Drama (solo project of Sadie Switchblade) to open.
