170 - The Menzingers (Tom May)

There is no other band like The Menzingers. For over a decade, The Menzingers have been writing narrative-driven punk music that is both incredibly specific and universally relatable. Their songs toe the line between nostalgia and wanderlust with a precision unmatched by their peers and envied by younger generations. The band grows better with each release, and their new album, Hello Exile, is no exception. On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell sits down with guitarist and vocalist Tom May to discuss what makes The Menzingers one of rock's most reliable groups. Tom tells James about his memories from the band's earliest recordings, as well as what fans can expect from their latest material. Then the conversation transitions to the group itself, detailing the interpersonal relationships that have helped the group keep their heads above water all these years. Hello Exile will hit stores on October 6 via Epitaph Records.
