All Ages — Valid I.D. Required To DrinkThe Middle East presents: Teen Mortgage, Upchuck – All Ages, $18 Advance / $22 Day Of Show, 6:30 PM DoorsWashington DCs Teen Mortgage climbed from the citys primordial punk soup in 2017after guitarist/vocalist James Guile relocated to the nations capital from Liverpool, UK and by a stroke of luck was quickly able to find hard hitting drummer Ed Barkauskas via a desperate craigslist post. As a two piece they stood out – crossbreeding east coast hardcore aggression and garage/surf sleaze with a focus on pop sensibility. This sonic blend perfectly set the scene for vocalist and guitarist James Guile to illustrate what he describes as the absurdity of living in the era of late stage capitalism and tech feudalism. He adds, its even woven into our name,like Mortgage in latin means death pledgeTeen Mortgages acerbic intensity was noticed by Brooklyn, NY label King PizzaRecords, who released the duos 2019 EP Life/Death and 2021s Smoked. Songs from the EPs earned Teen Mortgage placements with Shameless, Vans Park Series, and Evil Bikes and support slots with notable bands like The Chats, Mike Krol, Bass Drum Of Death, Jeff The Brotherhood, etc.Known for their rowdy live shows, Teen Mortgage detonates a sonic bomb that leaves no room for apathy, let alone time to breathe. Guiles caustic riffs and sneer paired with Barakauskass brawn have fostered a new established meeting ground for those looking for a place to mosh. Their DIY headline national tours have seen crowd members become rabid as soon as the pair kick in the first riff of the set, like a pack of coyotes chasing down their prey. The groups infectious fuzz bonded with Jello Biafra and George Carlin inspired lyrics ignite audiences into a primal frenzy, sweating out the drudgery of living through, once again in Guiles words, the era of late stage capitalism and tech feudalism.These guys have got it going on – Iggy Pop, BBC6s The Confidential ShowNO VAPING OR SMOKING IN THE BUILDING
