Benjamin Franklin famously opined that there's nothing certain but death and taxes. To that list it's probably now safe to add Power Trip touring. Since the release of 2013's excellent Southern Lord debut Manifest Decimation, PBS's favorite crossover thrashers have been relentlessly touring the world and spreading their gospel of frenetic Cro-Mags by way of Nuclear Assault hybrid thrash. This summer sees the continuation of the band's endless trek as Power Trip spread their grimy love all over North America.
The band is playing a number of festivals over the next few months including Scion Rock Fest in California, Sled Island Music Festival in Canada, and the Black N' Blue Bowl right here in New York City. In between these festival dates, Power Trip will be traveling around the States and Canada with Mammoth Grinder. Keep in mind that the dates below aren't a complete show listing; the band plans to add more shows well into September as venues are confirmed. Power Trip are an electrifying live act, and you should high-tail it to one or more of these dates if at all possible. If there's nothing close to you listed below, don't fret. There's always a chance one of the as-yet-unknown shows will be in your neck of the woods so Riley and company can demolish your favorite concert venue.
