Guitar-driven punk project Rocketsuit Rogue, led by Matty Lewis (ex-Zebrahead), plays Sin City with support from BOTES and General Waste.
Rocketsuit Rogue play Sin City on Saturday 14 November, part of the Hello, Apocalypse! UK Tour. It's the project of Matty Lewis, who stepped away from Zebrahead in 2021 after years of international touring and a Gold record. He got back into songwriting in 2025, and the debut album, Hello, Apocalypse!, came out in August 2026, produced by Cameron Webb, who has worked with Pennywise, Motörhead and NOFX.
Lewis describes the record as channeling 1950s sci-fi, comic books and end-of-the-world cinema into cinematic punk songs about struggle and survival, with soaring hooks and anthemic choruses. He's spoken about the UK in particular: his previous UK appearance was on Zebrahead's 2020 run with Sum 41, so this is a return to these shores under his own name.
Two local bands open the night. BOTES are a Swansea three-piece whose self-titled debut EP draws on late-90s and early-00s pop punk, and General Waste are a Valleys pop-punk four-piece formed in 2023. Both bring a similar pop-punk energy to the bill, so the whole evening sits in the same guitar-driven territory.
