"Dip" by Culture Abuse

Culture Abuse released their sophomore album Bay Dream this past June on Epitaph Records and have been busy in support of it non-stop. Now, the band is preparing for a coast-to-coast jaunt with Nothing, which runs from the September 7th through 23rd.

Today, Culture Abuse have announced an East Coast headline run featuring support from Gouge Away. Commencing October 4th, the tour will route up the East Coast, ending with Culture Abuse’s appearance at Not Dead Yet in Toronto on October 14th. Culture Abuse and Gouge Away will continue across the pond for a two-week-long run in the UK, ending with an appearance at Groezrock on October 27th. Look for a detailed list of tour dates below.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, Jimmy Eat World, M83), Bay Dream follows Culture Abuse’s 2016 debut Peach and elevates their melody-heavy garage punk to a new level, drawing inspiration from artists as eclectic as Sly and the Family Stone, Paul Simon, and reggae legend Billy Boyo. With the album’s lyrics largely informed by Kelling’s recent relocation from San Francisco to Los Angeles, physical and emotional movement play off each other effortlessly throughout Bay Dream.
