The tour is celebrating their 12” split with PINKO, out on April 7th. The frontman for Bummer, Matt Perrin, is a busy bee in the punk and rock scene, dividing his time between a few different acts (we recently caught him on the drums with Agent at their Replay show with Nancy Boys) and even pushing out a solo record. But when he’s not thrashing away onstage (or in the basement), you’ll see him working at Mills Record Company in Kansas City. He’s a familiar face there, and has even commandeered their basement for band practice and shooting the music video below.

For now, Bummer is focusing on their own upcoming lengthy tour— a difficult task for any band, though Perrin is used to a nonstop life on the road (he credits a “monthly/bi-monthly Braum’s intake” for fueling the band). But while he’s out, there are a few bands to keep tabs on in Bummer’s absence. “Unforgiven 5, Mentor, Microdoser, Warm Bodies, Natural Man, Arc Flash, False Brother,” Perrin suggests when asked about the bustling local scene. “Plenty of amazing stuff has been popping up, keep your eyes peeled.”

You can watch the music video for “Birthday Snake” below, and see Bummer in the flesh on Thursday, April 6th, at the Replay.
