URETHANE [USA] + SPARK OF HOPE [WE] | Museumskeller Erfurt

In the organizer's words:

They are back! After two sold-out shows (2022 & 23) at Tiko, this time we will be switching to the Museumskeller.

URETHANE are a dynamic pop-punk band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2020 during the pandemic, the band brings together an impressive line-up: skateboarding legend and guitarist Steve Caballero (The Faction, Odd Man Out), Tim Fennelly on vocals and guitar (War Fever), Chad Ruiz on bass (Skipjack) and Dylan Wade on drums (formerly of The Bombpops). Their sound, deeply rooted in punk rock and melodic hardcore, combines energetic riffs, catchy choruses and introspective lyrics.

Their debut album Chasing Horizons was released in 2021 via Cyber Tracks and was produced by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Alkaline Trio, NOFX). With guest contributions from punk icons such as Toby Morse (H2O) and Jim Lindberg (Pennywise), the album paved their way in the punk rock scene. In 2023, Urethane released the two-song single Dog Years, which underlined their musical development.

Since its inception, the band has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Asia, earning a loyal following through rousing live performances and an authentic connection with their fans. Inspired by bands like Bad Religion, NOFX and No Use for a Name, Urethane remains a powerful example of the unwavering energy and emotional depth of punk rock.

Since 2013, SPARK OF HOPE have been keeping skate punk alive in the heart of Germany - with driving melodies, nimble drums, rhythms that make your big toe wiggle and, above all, lyrics that come from the heart.
