After some plum opening spots on tour with Hot Water Music and The Gaslight Anthem, Philly punk powerhouse The Menzingers are hitting the road on a headlining tour in support of their 2012 LP On the Impossible Past. Like-minded local five-piece Restorations – the subject of this week’s Unlocked showcase – will be one of the support acts for the tour, which kicks off at The First Unitarian Church on May 24th; tickets go on sale this Friday, April 5th via R5 Productions.
