DAYGLO ABORTIONS Announce Western Canadian Tour; Includes Dates With D.O.A.

Few punk bands have remained in business for as long as the veteran Canadian trio, Dayglo Abortions. Since 1979, the band (in one configuration or another) has been offering up no-holds-barred punk rock, as well as some truly over-the-top (and unforgettable) album cover artwork/images. And the lads are back with their first studio album in 12 years (and ninth studio set overall), Armageddon Survival Guide, which was unleashed on March 25th, via Unrest Records.

Currently comprising members Murray Acton, a.k.a. “The Cretin” (guitar and vocals), Willy Jak (bass), and Blind Marc (drums), Armageddon Survival Guide combines their unique blend of catchy punk rock, heavy metal, comical humor, and pissed off political rhetoric, with lyrical content that challenges and disputes the verities of modern life. Classic Dayglo Abortions style goes hand-in-hand with feelings that are not so far from bands like Antiseen, and their anti-social nihilism attitude. In general, this is the band’s best material since their classic records from the ’80s.

This fall, for the first time in their extensive history, the Dayglo Abortions will join forces with fellow Canadian punk veterans D.O.A., on the Punk Rock Armageddon Tour in celebration of their new opus. Additional dates include Nanaimo BC, Hellraiser Fest in Kelowna BC, (with Devin Townsend Band, Prong, Fallujah, Zimmers Hole) and the Vancouver Jak Skate Team Afterparty.
