Post-hardcore/punk mainstays Hot Water Music have been revealing some dates they’ll play this January, which will likely be part of a full tour. (UPDATE: full tour dates below.) Those dates include a NYC show which happens on January 24 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. That show, and others on the tour, will have some pretty solid support from La Dispute and The Menzingers, both of who have toured with HWM in the past. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (11/2) at noon.

The Menzingers

It’s no secret that I think La Dispute are one of the best young post-hardcore bands out there, and if you’re headed to the show it’s worth getting there early to catch their classic rock riffage meets early-mewithoutYou poetry. But I have to admit, I had been a little iffy on Philly’s The Menzingers in the past, but more recent listens to their 2012 LP, On The Impossible Past have finally won me over. The band play a similar kind of post-Bouncing Souls (who they’ve toured with) punk to The Gaslight Anthem, Titus Andronicus, and (more lyrically than musically) The Hold Steady. The opener on Impossible Past, “Good Things,” starts soft and kicks into anthemic punk rage in a manner Patrick Stickles would be fond of, if it’s not a bit more simplistic than he may have handled it. And with lyrics like “Gettin drunk around back of the Lion’s Club/waiting for the shitty bands to finish up/and some kids played hacky sack while the others just got high” on “Gates,” it’s hard not to think of a young Craig Finn. You can stream some of the tracks off On The Impossible Past below.

The Menzingers will also be in NYC to open for Taking Back Sunday at their first of two sold out shows at Terminal 5 (11/23), where TBS will be playing Tell All Your Friends in full.

Those Menzingers song streams and a list of all tour dates are below.
