The album also features the southern-style punk of “Double Barrel,” an “I Don’t Like Mondays” kind of rant that con- templates violence as a solution to what ails the modern world. Mr. Payday will celebrate the release on Aug. 26 at Pino’s in Highland Park with Sux, featuring members of Jersey punk greats Adrenaline O.D.; Little Dickman recording act Dentist, and the lo- cal super group Atom Driver, who also will celebrate the release of their new EP, “In the West.” Mr. Payday will return Sept. 15 to Pi- no’s to play with Crescent Moon and Naughty Clouds. That gig will be sandwiched by the Hub City Sounds: ROCK New Bruns- wick Warmup Party on Sept. 9 at Volume IV in New Brunswick with Spowder, Glazer and Schwervon! and the Raritan River Festival on Sept. 24 in Boyd Park. Mr. Payday also will play Sept. 20 at Bowery Electric, New York City. w Watch Mr. Payday perform “Written in Stone” live NJ STAGE 2017 - Vol. 4 No. 7 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 116
