US punk-metal mainstays **Strung Out **return to Australia this September to celebrate 30 years of their landmark album **Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues** with a national run of headline shows.

Originally released in 1996, *Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues* crammed 13 songs into 32 breakneck minutes and became a defining record for a generation of punk fans. From the opening blast of “Firecracker” through to “Wrong Side of the Tracks”, the album’s mix of hook-heavy melodies and high-speed riffs still hits just as hard today.

Across ten albums and countless tours, Strung Out have built a reputation as one of the most explosive live bands in punk rock – loud, tight and direct, with no throwbacks for the sake of it and no wasted moments.

This September, Australian fans will hear *Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues* celebrated throughout the set, alongside favourites from across the band’s catalogue.
