An integral part of the 90's Bay Area punk explosion that also spawned bands like Green Day and Jawbreaker, San Francisco's SAMIAM continue to tour the world, bringing their highly influential brand of melodic punk to fans new and old. After early album releases on New Red Archives, SAMIAM released their major label debut "Clumsy" in 1994, followed later by classics "Your Freaking Me Out" and "Astray". Taking some time out from 2001-04' while members focused on other projects (Solea, Knapsack), SAMIAM eventually entered the studio again in 2006 to record their most recent album "Whatever's Got You Down" (Hopeless Records).

This September SAMIAM will head down under for their first ever Australian Tour. They'll be joined by Melbourne's A DEATH IN THE FAMILY who have recently returned from a US tour with The Gaslight Anthem.
