Straight edgers, hard liners, skunk junkies and 15 year olds will be rejoicing this winter at the news of a wave of UK punk rock invading the UK shores.

Poison The Well have been announced as main support to Dillinger Escape Plan on the band's tour through November and December, whereas The Kinison, who are set to release their excellent debut record 'What Are You Listening To?' in a couple of weeks (Nov 29th) are to play a bunch of big-assed arena shows with former comedy punks Blink 182.

Additionally, The Kinison will play a trio of their own headline dates. Bundle in Q and not U's UK dates (news story below), and you've got your fill of screaming twenty-somethings for the rest of the year.

Some of this information maybe old hat to some of you punk rock pros, but it does all fit together in a nice little news package.

Re: Punk Rock hits town: Poison The Well, Dillinger, Blink and Kinison

Yes there were - thanks - have deleted/re-edited etc.
Don't know what the hell was going on there. However, the link you posted to also had incorrect dates.

lies and misinformation make the world go round..

Re: Punk Rock hits town: Poison The Well, Dillinger, Blink and Kinison

hmm, dillinger aren't as good as they used to be

Re: Punk Rock hits town: Poison The Well, Dillinger, Blink and Kinison

What in the shit are you talking about?
Not as good as they used to be indeed.
They're twice, nay, three-times the band they were circa 'Calculating Infinity'.
For all its technical wizardry, 'Calculating...' is a hard slog; a real bastard to 'get'.
I love it, don't get me wrong.
But 'Miss Machine' is something else.
Fuck me, it's SO GOOD.
So, to summarise: you're wrong.

Have you seen Dillinger recently? Quite fucking obviously they're about 10,000 times as good as they were.

And there I was thinking this was going to be a news story about the likes of Suicide Machines, Leftover Crack, Flogging Molly who are punk and touring before the end of the year.

Re: Punk Rock hits town: Poison The Well, Dillinger, Blink and Kinison

what's more punk than the Blink boys? YOU? Don't fink so!

Oh how I wish I could go to Dillinger and PTW. I pine for a ticket. Although Ephel Duath are supporting so I suppose the upside is I won't have to suffer them.
