Spineshank Announce ‘Nu Metal Sucks’ Tour

Spineshank will launch the “Nu Metal Sucks Tour” in spring 2026 with (Hed) P.E. and Primer 55. The shows will conclude Spineshank’s touring celebration of the 25th anniversary of “The Height Of Callousness”.

(Hed) P.E. will perform its 2000 album “Broke” in full, while Primer 55 will revisit “Introduction To Mayhem”. Additional support will vary by city and includes Kissing Candice, Oceans On Other Planets, Tidals and Carbonstone. The route begins in Lubbock on April 24 and extends through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Florida, the East Coast, Midwest and Colorado before ending in Grand Junction on June 6.

Three landmark 2000-era albums will anchor a deliberately nostalgic package running from April into June.

Spineshank’s current lineup combines vocalist Jonny Santos, drummer Tommy Decker and bassist Robert Garcia with guitarists Tommy Decker Jr. and former Chimaira member Jason Hager. The reunited group is also developing new music. Decker says the material retains the band’s core balance of heavy riffs, melodic hooks and electronic textures.

Spineshank returned to the stage in July 2025 after nearly 13 years away. The band initially treated the comeback as a nostalgic project, but strong ticket sales and audience response encouraged discussions about a fuller return. Their catalogue includes “Strictly Diesel”, “The Height Of Callousness”, “Self-Destructive Pattern” and 2012’s “Anger Denial Acceptance”.
