Brothers <strong>Danny and Art Banura<\/strong>, along with bassist <strong>Frank<\/strong>, built the band to bring raw truth, humor, and high-octane energy back to punk and hardcore. Their latest album, <strong><em>Armageddon Session<\/em><\/strong>, out now on <strong>Irish Voodoo Records<\/strong>, is a brutal-yet-uplifting blend of skatepunk, metal, and hardcore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band has shared stages with <strong>Strung Out, Guttermouth, Ignite, The Dwarves, D.R.I., Death By Stereo, The Bronx<\/strong>, and more, bringing their relentless energy to every set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their influences include <strong>Rich Kids on LSD, Suicidal Tendencies, Poison Idea, Sick Of It All<\/strong>, and <strong>Pennywise<\/strong>\u2014but their sound is all their own: fast, aggressive, and full of soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"?\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/16.0\/1f3a7\/32.png\"> <em>Armageddon Session<\/em> is available now on vinyl at<a href=\"https:\/\/raquelfiglo.com\/so\/b4PRpCGNN\/c?w=lmukywTErmevcWRDuiNb2GrmSpA2AEtN17bRJO04sC8.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9pcmlzaHZvb2Rvb3JlY29yZHMuY29tLyIsInIiOiJjNDg0Y2M0Yi0zYmUxLTQ2YzktYTdjMS1lZWI1MjM1MWUwM2IiLCJtIjoibWFpbCIsImMiOiJkNGMyYzc0OS04Njg0LTRlM2ItODU4MS0yODcxNTY0ZmQxYWUifQ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> irishvoodoorecords.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stream the album:<a href=\"https:\/\/raquelfiglo.com\/so\/b4PRpCGNN\/c?w=7vsWdB1jixWFtxTfs2lWjnDfPs8cBXZI5dcORu-zQIE.eyJ1IjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2FydGlzdC82eUF5NGNxZ1BJWEtMVmprR21SWlgyP3NpPU9LSExWVWhtVDg2QlhkUU1FRVUzN2ciLCJyIjoiYzQ4NGNjNGItM2JlMS00NmM5LWE3YzEtZWViNTIzNTFlMDNiIiwibSI6Im1haWwiLCJjIjoiZDRjMmM3NDktODY4NC00ZTNiLTg1ODEtMjg3MTU2NGZkMWFlIn0\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ORDER VINYL NOW:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Irish Voodoo Records irishvoodoorecords.com (US)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armageddon Session album now available on vinyl.
