Dan Vapid And The Cheats “Welcome To Dystopia”

Posted on:

Dan Vapid and the Cheats recently released their latest album, Welcome To Dystopia. This album is a reaction of sorts to the various shades of reality that came to light during 2020. When asked Dan Vapid had this to say about this album, "“I try my best to see the good when I can, but as a society we have reached a turning point and it isn’t good. Many of the songs on Welcome to Dystopia reflect that.” Dan Vapid continues, “2020 was the most surreal year I’ve seen in my lifetime".

You can catch Dan Vapid and the Cheats at Cobra Lounge on November 18th with Methadones, The Copyrights, and Mikey Erg.
