(TEANECK, NJ) -- Bad Luck. is hitting the road on a co-headlining tour with Dollar Signs. The tour comes to the Debonair Music Hall on Thursday, May 19th. An all-ages show, doors are at 6:00pm, showtime is 7:00pm. Taking Meds will open the night.
After spending the better part of a decade honing their craft, Bad Luck. presents the best version of themselves to date with their latest release, Summer of Pain. The twelve-song collection serves as a bridge between childhood ambition and adult realism by exploring the underlying tension of romanticism in our modern world. It's a record about love and sadness that aspires to give listeners a much-needed reality check. Bad Luck. wants to pull you into the present and make you fully aware of your existence.
"We want our being, presence, and band to be socially active," says co-founder Dominick Fox. "We want people to know who we are, where we're from, and what we stand for, all of which is laid out in this album."
Stories of heartache, growth, setbacks, and personal triumphs comprise much of the material found on Summer of Pain. The members of Bad Luck. – Dominick Fox, Joe Fox, Charlie Caruso, and Michael Sichel – are documenting the journey of life as it unfolds. The songs do not reflect the beginning of an adventure nor fixate on endings. It's about the messy parts in the middle. Their music is a form of mediation where the members fiercely focus on the work between them and the people they hope to become. It's a document of progress, or lack thereof, told as truthfully as possible.
As Summer of Pain grapples with the difficult task of self-analysis, Bad Luck. delivers accessible punk music that pulls from blends of Northeastern cynicism with the pop-influenced optimism.
"We're super excited to hit the road with Dollar Signs and Taking Meds this spring," added Fox. "It'll be our first time returning to the west coast since early 2020 and some of our first times ever in certain parts of Canada. Between getting to play with and see 2 great bands every night, some of the new merch we're planning on dropping for the tour, and a few other cool plans we have, we can't wait for this spring co-headliner. All the bands put out music in 2021 so come hang out and get someone's record, this is gonna be one of our best tours yet."
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Tickets are available for purchase online. All seating is first-come first-served. Debonair Music Hall is located at 1409 Queen Anne Rd, Teaneck, New Jersey.
