UK Punks Grade 2 Announce US Headlining Tour

Bringing the raw power of old school punk to a new generation and audience, the Isle of Wight, UK band Grade 2 announce a headlining tour of the US with tickets on sale this Friday, March 17 at 10am local time.

Famed for blistering live performances and exceptional musicianship, they're taking their anthemic self-titled album on a nineteen-date run starting May 4th in Pomona, CA, making stops along the way in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix and more before ending in Vegas on March 28 for Punk Rock Bowling.

Just this past month, Grade 2's third studio album was released via Hellcat Records with guidance from legend Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy). Their most representative work yet, they meld the uncompromising ethos of punk with the howl of contemporary injustice, personal identity and frustrations of Gen-Z youth.

United by a love of classic punk, ska and oi, childhood friends Sid Ryan (vocals, bass), Jacob Hull (drums) and Jack Chatfield (guitar, vocals) formed the band almost a decade ago at fourteen years old, honing their craft playing Clash and Jam covers before refining their own sound.

Leading to an eventual signing with Hellcat in 2018, the band has toured with The Interrupters, Dropkick Murphys, Rancid and Social Distortion while continuing to spit out blistering punk music laced with passion, angst, humor and despair.
