The Menzingers has made a true impact in the world of punk rock with past releases, most notably 2012's "On The Impossible Past," which garnered attention for reviving and refreshing the pop punk genre. In fact, The Menzingers presents a sound that feels authentically pop punk, employing familiar techniques like catchy choruses, a steady, energetic beat, and melodic, oftentimes gritty, vocals. The band released a new album, "Rented World," last month, carrying on its tradition of honoring its roots, while still making music that feels and sounds not tired or overdone, but rather, new and exciting.

The Menzingers perform with Lemuria, Pup, and Cayetana on Monday, June 2, at The Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 7 p.m. $16. Bugjar.com; Themenzingers.tumblr.com
