US punk-metal mainstays Strung Out return to Australia this September to celebrate 30 years of their landmark album Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues with a national run of headline shows. Originally released in 1996, Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues crammed 13 songs into 32 breakneck minutes and became a defining record for a generation of punk fans. From the opening blast of “Firecracker” through to “Wrong Side of the Tracks”, the album’s mix of hook-heavy melodies and high-speed riffs still hits just as hard today. Across ten albums and countless tours, Strung Out have built a reputation as one of the most explosive live bands in punk rock – loud, tight and direct, with no throwbacks for the sake of it and no wasted moments. This September, Australian fans will hear Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues celebrated throughout the set, alongside favourites from across the band’s catalogue.
