Destroy Boys with illuminati hotties and The Rat Utopia Experiment presented by Thalia Hall & Riot Fest

Destroy Boys have partnered with PLUS1 to direct $1 from every ticket to local organizations expanding food access, supporting mutual aid, and protecting Indigenous lands. They've also teamed up with Concerted so fans can trade local volunteer hours in these cause areas for a limited number of tickets at each tour stop. FOIE GRAS, Destroy Boys' fifth album, feels like the record the band has been working toward all along. It's bigger, stranger, and more confident than what came before, without losing the immediacy that got them started. Roditis and Mayugba formed the band when they were 15, playing DIY shows around Sacramento while still in high school. Over the past decade, Destroy Boys have grown from those house shows into an international touring band, opening for Blink-182, Pierce the Veil, and Rise Against. Their songs have gotten harder to pin down, too: punk remains the foundation, but grunge, pop, post-punk, Britpop, bossa nova, and jazz all find their way in. Produced by Zach Tuch, with additional contributions from Frank Iero, FOIE GRAS pushes that restlessness further. It's the sound of a band finally giving itself permission to follow its instincts, no matter the risk---and, in the process, making its best record yet.

Iceage

For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is Iceage's tightest album to date, even glossy at times, but not tight enough to dull its pulse. With wordless howls, nastily detuned riffs that bend into harmony, breakdowns, handclaps, and a chaotic choral break seemingly played on pennywhistles, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is a showcase of the band's fundamental curiosity and trust in their instincts. Produced and mixed by the band (Rønnenfelt, Dan Kjær Nielsen, Jakob Tvilling Pless, Johan S. Weith, and Casper Morilla Fernandez) and Nis Bysted, For Love of Grace & the Hereafter was recorded last year at Silence Studio, a modest house in rural Sweden near the Norwegian border. Twelve years ago they recorded 2014's Plowing Into the Field of Love at the same studio; it's no coincidence it's the only time they have returned to a studio to cut a record. The band wanted to capture the same intense energy. The band leaned on their experiences and the thousands of hours on stages they've shared since they were teenagers. The setup was as minimal as possible: making decisions live and not overthinking, patient full takes with minimal overdubs. The lyrics were written only a few weeks before entering the studio to prevent the overall picture from being too fragmented and to increase the sense of risk and urgency. For Love of Grace & the Hereafter is bright and energetic. It's both fun and as serious as ever, growing and glowing through love. There is no affectation or prescription to this record---no palette of curated influence or sought sound. It is the sum total of inspirations, shared openly in the name of playing and playing's pleasures.
