Punk rock band The Menzingers have recently released a brand new single titled ‘Second City’ taken from an upcoming 20th anniversary compilation of their previous label Red Scare. The compilation features 17 unreleased songs from label celebrating Red Scare’s 20th anniversary known as ’20 Years Of Dreaming And Scheming’ – it also features Laura Jane Grace, No Trigger, Cobra Skulls and many more.
The Menzingers’ frontman Greg Barnett states: “We spent a lot of time in Chicago during the formative years of the band, so when asked to contribute a song for Red Scare’s 20th anniversary, it felt right to pay homage to that era. ‘Second City’ is about a time and place that feels impossible to recreate now, and maybe that’s why I hold it so close to my heart. Chicago has been like a second home, so it felt pretty natural to write about.“
