Staton of Senior Discount Plays The Alex and Ani Lounge Ahead of Album Release Show
The Providence area band was recently signed to Paper and Plastick records and is celebrating their album release at a waterfront, block-party style show on July 13 alongside the band Badfish. The event, held at the Whiskey Republic, will be the first of its kind for the venue, where a large stage is being built outside for the event.
Senior Discount is billed as a pop-punk band, which he describes as along the lines of Green Day and Blink-182. The band has won numerous awards in the New England area, with both the Providence Phoenix and Motif Magazine naming them the Best Punk/Best Pop-Punk Band two times each, and has been part of the WBRU Rock Hunt.
As a longtime band in the area, Staton says he and his bandmates are well ingrained into the Providence music scene, which he says he loves. Staton is hoping to promote the entire Providence music scene, regardless of genre, at the upcoming July 13 concert.
The concert will not be the first time the band has been billed alongside Badfish, as the two have played together at The Strand (formerly Lupo’s) on dozens of occasions. Before being signed to Paper and Plastick records, the band recorded and released several albums and songs independently and played hundreds of shows throughout New England.
In the Lounge, Staton performed two acoustic versions of songs from the upcoming album, titled The Best Revenge: “Cindy” and “Afterlife.”
Following the release, Senior Discount’s album will be available on most streaming platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon music, and more. More information on the release and on Senior Discount can be found on the band's website.
