Suburban Resistance at the Punk Rock Museum - Sunday August 3, 2025

 

We've dug Suburban Resistance's punk'n'roll sound since first hearing them a few years back and the fact that they are damn nice folks on top of it means that we want to support them any time that we can. This mini-set was their first with their new drummer and they got plenty of their fans (and won over some new fans, for sure) to witness this debut in the cramped-but-fun quarters of TPRM.

The performance space is super tiny - barely enough for the 5 of them to fit in (it is meant to emulate a garage rehearsal space) - but the sound is surprisingly good and, of course, the band (punk-) rocked it!

While I have a couple of their records, their recorded output is staggering so I am not familiar with every song of their, and at least one of today's was brand new, but their Misfits-esque whoa-whoas and clap-along tunes means that the audience can easily interact - and they happily do! 

Front person Kevin stalks the stage and the crowd (good naturedly) and handed out stickers mid set while the band slammed through the few catchy, hook-laden songs. The band is super tight and the new drummer (sorry, I didn't catch his name) fit in perfectly this afternoon.

We're looking forward to catching a full set from these cats soon - glad to have them back in the scene!
