LOUD & REBELLIOUS
SINCE ’96
The Preps crash through the silence like a fist through a window. Born on the East Coast in 1996, this punk rock wrecking crew has been raising hell on both coasts for nearly three decades. Known for their raw, high-octane shows and relentless touring, The Preps carved their name into underground venues and dive bars with sweat, speed, and attitude.
Now, closing in on 30 years of noise and rebellion, The Preps are back with a vengeance—armed with new tracks, a stacked tour schedule, and that same blistering energy that never died. Catchy hooks, filthy riffs, and breakneck rhythms—this isn’t a comeback. It’s a reckoning.
