Wow. Just wow. Last Saturday's @migfestsalem.bsky.social was such a blast. The bands, the community, the farm, the food...what a rad time. Loved chatting with friends old and new while eating wood-fired pizza and pickled farm-fresh eggs. Can't wait to get tickets for next year's fest!

It's official. The Rad Van is totaled. Jean-Claude Ran Van was one of the good ones. Always there to get us to and from shows and all around the West Coast. May a choir of punk rockers sing you to your next life.

Due to illness, The Subjunctives had to bow out of this week's tour. Wishing them the best and a ludicrous speed recovery. Our good pals, @goodbyeviking.bsky.social, were awesome enough to step in last minute. Excited to play with these folks at all our stops. Ludicrous speed, go!

First stop of tour! See you next week, Seattle. Can't wait to kick off our long Washington weekender with The Subjunctives and Sick Moranis! Love this poster by Dani Kalan.

Call off the search. Rad Van found! Unfortunately, somebody got a little TOO rad in it. We'll see if we can salvage it before tour next month.

Last Portland Show of 2026! We’ve got some exciting stuff happening in the Rad Max camp that we’ll announce soon, but that mysterious stuff means that this will be our show in our hometown this year. Mark your calendars, tell your friends, rewind your VHS tapes…it’s time to get rad.
