A powerful… set of songs” - Kerrang! “SoCal’s furious post-punks return with a new album and the same badass attitude” -Alternative Press "When oh when will the world wake up to the greatness that is Plague Vendor?" -Portland Mercury

Today, Southern California’s Plague Vendor release their new studio album By Night, viaEpitaph Records. The 10-song LP was produced by John Congleton (St Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, Chelsea Wolfe) and perfectly captures the feeling of ruin and regeneration, of charisma and catastrophe and of slashing at-the-night with nothing but pure electricity. With Congleton’s precision production, Plague Vendor have found their own way between the powerful-but-too-polished sound of right now and the engaging-but-aging reinterpretations of classic punk/rock albums of the 60s and 70s. Stream By Nighthere: https://plaguevendor.ffm.to/bynight. Leading to the release fans were given an indication of what By Night might sound like by way of 4 critically-acclaimed singles -- the raw, vital lead single “New Comedown,” the brooding “All of the Above” that sees an internal monologue disintegrating over a sci-fi punk drumbeat, “Let Me Get High\Low”--a psychedelia-tinged track that’s an infinity mirror of echo, effects, illusion and delusion and last week’s “Prism.” Plague Vendor is Brandon Blaine (vocals), Michael Perez (bass), Luke Perine (drums and percussion) and Jay Rogers (guitar). What they track in the studio comes to life in the most powerful way with their infamous physical live shows that have won the band a loyal and always-growing fan base. That was evident last night as they played to a packed crowd at Los Angeles’ House of Machines to celebrate the release of By Night. Today they are excited to announce summer and fall tour dates in North America, The UK andEurope that includes stops at the Reading and Leeds Festival and shows in NYC,Chicago and Los Angeles. Next week sees Plague Vendor playing in San Diego as part of 91X’s Inspired by Music Series; and in July the Vans Warped Tour Anniversaryshow in Mountain View, CA. All dates are listed below. By Night is the follow up to Plague Vendor’s 2016 debut full-length BLOODSWEAT and their widely-acclaimed debut EP Free to Eat.
