About

Seasoned punks, rejoice! Out of Richmond, VA comes “Payphones”, a band comprised of scene veterans hailing from up and down the East Coast. Creating music that emotes the frustration, triviality, and self-reflection of the modern world, and the hope of better days ahead. Musically, the band composes from a wide-ranging palette of influence, pulling from punk and punk-adjacent bands from the 90’s to present. Coming soon from Payphones is the EP, “Gasoline” due to be released in late 2023 on Sound Investment Records.
