Spineshank Officially Announce a 25th Anniversary Tour and Newly Revamped Lineup
We recently got confirmation that California nu-metal outfit Spineshank was going to be playing this year’s Louder Than Life festival. It was the first official reveal that the band was back and planning to play reunion gigs after rumblings of their return made their way through the internets.
As it turns out, the band officially announced not only a tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Height of Callousness, but they also unveiled the band’s new lineup. When Spineshank takes to the stage later this year, they’ll be comprised of original members vocalist Jonny Santos, drummer Tommy Decker and bassist/vocalist Robert Garcia and new guitarists Tommy Decker Jr. (yes, the drummer’s son) and ex-Chimaira member Jason Hager.
The announcement was officially made on the band’s Facebook page with the following statement:
Yes. Hell has indeed frozen over!! Spineshank is back with a revamped lineup featuring original members Jonny Santos, Rob Garcia, and Tommy Decker, along with new recruits Tommy Decker, Jr. (Guitar) and Jason Hager (ex-Chimaira – Guitar) to celebrate the 25th anniversary The Height of Callousness, and we’re excited to bring it to Louder Than Life!
More big things coming! We plan on seeing as many of our fans around the world as we can! Stay tuned! Love you all! ????
“We are beyond excited to be able to celebrate 25 years of The Height of Callousness. This is the record that defined us as a band and changed our lives. We can’t wait to play all of these songs and share the memories with all of you who lived it with us.” – Tommy Decker
“We are extremely excited to celebrate the return of SpineShank for the 25th anniversary of The Height of Callousness tour, and get to share this milestone with the people who were there back then, and the new fans that never got the chance to see us play. Truly an honor!!! ” – Jonny Santos
“It’s amazing that 25 years later people still react to The Height of Callousness the way they do. We’re excited to get out and play these songs again, see old friends, and threw down for all the new fans who never got to see Spineshank the first time around!” – Rob Garcia
“I’ve been on tour with these guys since I was a little kid, watching them perform every night from the side of the stage. I can’t believe it’s come full circle and I get to share the stage with my dad and the rest of the guys who I consider my family. I was 4 years old when this album came out and seeing all the fans still show love to this album is crazy!” — Tommy Decker, Jr
“I am beyond excited and honored to be a part of the return of Spineshank, for the 25th anniversary of The Height Of Callousness tour. They’re not just one of my favorite bands, but have been great friends, ever since they generously, and selflessly helped us (Chimaira) out, during our early days. I’m looking forward to seeing you all, out on the road, and excited about what the future may hold.” – Jason Hager
At this time, there are no dates to report on, only that there will eventually be a tour. I mean, if you’re excited to see Spineshank in 2025, you’ve already waited 13 years for the band to get back together, so you can probably wait a little longer for more concrete details.
