Lagwagon's new album Railer, released last week, is definitely on brand for the band. After nearly 30 years in the trade, Lagwagon is still grinding out and playing thrashy, melodic skate punk...listen to the album in its entirety here. And get your tickets to see them (and MakeWar) at the Fillmore Silver Spring tomorrow night!

Did you like Looking for Lizards? Yeah, me too. Go support No Parents...they're gonna be playing w/ Plague Vendor this Friday @ DC9! Go check 'em out
