ANAHEIM, Calif. — Formed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic-forced lockdowns, punk and post-hardcore band L.S. Dunes is ready to share its new music with fans in-person.
The band — consisting of Circa Survive and Saosin vocalist Anthony Green, My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero, Coheed and Cambria guitarist Travis Stever and Thursday’s Tim Payne on bass and Tucker Rule on drums — wrote and recorded virtually during that time, keeping the project under wraps up until its band name appeared on the poster as part of the lineup for the annual Riot Fest in Chicago in September.
Since then, L.S. Dunes has been out performing at festivals in support of its singles, “Permanent Rebellion,” “2022” and “Bombsquad.” As the band drops its debut album, “Past Lives,” on Fantasy Records on Friday, it plans to celebrate its labor of love during a pair of Southern California shows at Garden Amp in Garden Grove on Nov. 12 and The Troubadour in West Hollywood on Nov. 14.
