Artistically, physically and mentally, I’d probably die without it… there literally would be no point in living at this point.”_ 2022 saw Public Serpents touring with some incredible bands like **The Suicide Machines, Escape From The Zoo**, and **Catbite** in cities across America before shipping out to Europe for a month long tour over seas, playing venues ranging from the world- renowned **Manchester Punk Festival** to a Hungarian bomb shelter under the streets of Budapest. Public Serpents are heading on tour in the lead-up to the album’s release (see dates below). The trek also includes a pair of NJ/NYC record release shows in April.   [](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2femail.cloud.secureclick.net%2fc%2f6813%3fid%3d13133145.34018.1.c89e3be29a48d192e766822eaa1899c9&umid=d96190ca-2651-42fa-8959-7d0244f0c4e7&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-514c728ae92590c74998352c83a29dfac55f331e) ![Screenshot 2023-01-18 at 1.42.40 PM](https://i0.wp.com/cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/ 3605/0593/original/Screenshot_2023-01-18_at_1.42.40_PM.png?resize=431%2C654&ssl= 1) ![Screen Shot 2022-11-08 at 2.01.37 PM](https://i0.wp.com/cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/ 3476/6877/original/Screen_Shot_2022-11-08_at_2.01.37_PM.png?resize=434%2C433&ssl =1) **Social Media: [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/publicserpents) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/publicserpents/) | [Website](http://www.publicserpents.net/) ![channels4 profile](https://i0.wp.com/cascade.madmimi.com/promotion_images/3099/ 0862/original/channels4_profile.jpeg?resize=307%2C307&ssl=1) [**Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy51K7ED0yi2HCN_Hsf7Mfw) ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20New%20Jersey%27s%20PUBLIC%20SERPENTS%20Release%20%22Not%20Forever%2C%22%20The%20First%20Single%20Off%20Upcoming%20Debut%20%27The%20Bully%20Puppet%27%20Out%20March%2024th&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fnew-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/new-jerseys-public-serpents-release-not-forever-the-first-single-off-upcoming-debut-the-bully-puppet-out-march-24th/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
