Mike Geraci and Christian Lee of the Abruptors visited the Flamingo Lounge on March 27, 2025, and shared their stories and two tracks from their latest record, “Everything You Know Is Wrong,” out now on Asian Man Records. The new record is a testament to their evolution and unwavering energy.

Bursting forth from Buffalo, NY, The Abruptors deliver a potent blend of ska, reggae, and rocksteady, fueled by raw emotion and a relentless, upbeat spirit. Mike Geraci (lead vocals, guitar), Toni LaMantia (lead vocals, keys, saxophone), Alex Schultz (drums), and Christian Lee (bass) have honed their sound since forming in 2015, crafting a sonic landscape that tackles life’s anxieties and relational complexities head-on.
