The Menzingers

The Menzingers are a punk band out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, known for pairing gruff, melodic songwriting with lyrics that lean into nostalgia and hard-earned self-reflection. Albums like "On the Impossible Past" and "After the Party" helped build them a devoted following well beyond the punk scene, thanks to hooks that stick and choruses built for shouting along.

They've got a show coming up at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, a good chance to catch a band that's been sharpening this sound for a long time.
