Rented World is ten-years-old. The Menzingers‘ fantastic fourth album is into double figures, and to celebrate its birthday, The Menzingers will be playing Rented World in full—performing it in London and Philadelphia.

Yes, you read that right. The Menzingers have just announced a trio of Rented World shows.

The Punks from Scranton (setting for the Fictional drama The US Office) will be celebrating the birthday of their beloved, brilliant fourth album, Rented World, with a one-off date in Philadelphia on November 29 and two nights at London’s Underworld on December 6 – 7.

Amusingly, at the start of 2024, during a Kerrang! fan Q&A with Greg Barnett, the frontman was asked about any 10-year anniversary plans, to which Greg responded: “No, we don’t. I will admit this: I texted the band and our manager and I said, ‘Hey, what if we just did a one-off show for the anniversary?’ But I sent it late at night and got no response. So I’m going to take that as a ‘no’. But then again, nothing is ever written off in Menzingers World. I couldn’t see it being a whole tour, but a one-off show would be good.”

Fortunately, it looks like that text did get a reply after all.

The Philly punks have just recently released their seventh studio album ‘Some of It Was True’.

Speaking about the record, vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett says, “Written over the last two and a half years in hotels, backstages, basements, and rehearsal rooms and recorded during a life-changing retreat down south, Some Of It Was True is the most realised version of what we set out to do when we started this band 17 years ago – have fun and be ourselves.

“This record just feels different for us… It’s a really important one in our catalogue, and a pivotal moment in our history. We have the liberty of our fans growing with us now, and after writing these lyrical songs about where we are in life, we decided to take other peoples’ stories and make something bigger out of it.”
