Circle Jerks

Before the live recording in Dublin on September 3, 2025, Circle Jerks had recently released their much-anticipated album 'Gro,' which marked a significant return for the band after years away from the studio. This album reflects their enduring punk spirit, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and fresh energy, capturing the raw intensity that fans had come to love. Notably, the live show at The Academy included vibrant renditions of tracks from 'Gro,' allowing the band to connect with their audience in a visceral way. Interestingly, this performance came as part of a larger tour that reignited Circle Jerks’ legacy among both older fans and a new generation, proving that their music remains as relevant as ever. Despite the hiccup with the recording—thanks to a dead phone battery—the energy and spirit of the show echoed the band’s storied history in the punk scene.
