Daytona Beach’s Virginity is celebrating the release of its new album ‘POPMORTEM’ at Will’s Pub on Saturday

Virginity is a band that meets near home. Her specialty is heart-in-the-sleeve punk: painfully honest melodies that take away sadness and create solidarity.

The band will release their newest album POPMORTEM on October 15th via Orlando’s own smartpunk records. But dearest City Beautiful, you have the opportunity to hear the album early and live. As mentioned in our Concert Picks of the Week, Virginity is holding an album launch party this Saturday October 9th at our popular local pub, Will’s Pub. You will be accompanied by Orlando’s very own Sad Halen, and your ticket will also include a copy of the new album.

Hailing from Daytona Beach, Virginity began making music in unlikely ways in 2018. The band’s current singer and guitarist Casey Crawford never intended to form a band. He wrote a few tunes about his own mental health and sent them to his friend Jim Steffen. Steffen encouraged his friend to write more songs and soon became the band’s drummer. Her bassist Jordan Shroyer got the tracks under control and felt the same way. That was where the stuff for a band and a record came from.

Three years and an eternity later of a pandemic, Virginity is perfecting its craft. The band has already released four tracks from POPMORTEM, each a masterpiece for adults. Existential fears, the drifting apart of friends, and the incessant passage of time with the kind of sad solidarity our dark hearts crave, even when we refuse to admit it. Things still suck, but it’s better together. So get annoyed wear your mask hear some new tunes And dance out your dark hearts, Orlando.
