Florida street punks The Attack are delighted to announce a run of July 2024 UK headline tour dates, ahead of an appearance at annual punk rock pilgrimage Rebellion Festival on 4th August in Blackpool.
To celebrate the news, the band will be reissuing their 2010 debut album Of Nostalgia And Rebellion on vinyl for the first time in the UK.
Ever since their inception, The Attack have been looking to bring punk back to basics: short, fast-riffing songs about the social, music, and media-driven politics of today. As they see it, the simplicity of punk has been lost on a divided underground scene driven more by fashion, and ruled by icons that have become the same rock stars the punk movement rebelled against in the Seventies.
Across the world, everything punk—from all ages shows to Facebook pages—has become a popularity contest that defies the original intent of the alternative music scene. As such, The Attack are ruled by a DIY ethos and driven by one goal: to reunite the punks, skins, and hardcore kids under the same underground flag. The Attack never pander to one political party or music scene, forming an opinion, agenda, and sound of their own.
Steadily gaining in notoriety on these shores, The Attack have been gigging regularly throughout the UK over the past few years, building their fervent international fanbase from the ground up in the time honoured tradition of US punk acts.
“We love British seaside towns,” explains guitarist Brad Palkevich. “Coming from the states, Blackpool and Rhyl are just like The Jersey Shore or Cocoa Beach but with worse weather.”
“Our first gigs over here were a short run of dates supporting Flogging Molly,” adds vocalist Charlie Bender. “Since then we have been able to come back headlining small clubs and supporting our heroes.”
The band perform at The Parish in Huddersfield on July 31st.
