New Jersey’s Screaming Females thought they were in for a simple tour when they joined up with folk-punks and sort-of-kind-of-maybe anarchists Against Me! — but they were mistaken! What they got involved in was nothing less than a dangerous game of UPPING THE PUNX! Mere rock ‘n’ roll shows turn into punk bloodbaths, studded leather grows from human skin, and pointless arguments about “WHO’S MORE PUNK??” spiral forth endlessly. Fear these times, Northeastern United States, for this wave of PUNX UPPING is ripping through your land as we speak.
If Screaming Females manage to live through this trial, they’ll celebrate by making their way to a trio of festival dates. The group can breathe easy knowing that Denmark’s Roskilde Festival will not force them into UPPING THE PUNX, while Richmond, Virginia’s Best Friends Day probably won’t, what with a delightful name like Best Friends Day! But that Fest 10 in Gainesville, Florida… I wouldn’t trust it, Screaming Females. If any town would trap you into UPPING THE PUNX, it’s that one. You’re walking into a hornet’s nest.
