Doom Service — UVM Prism Center

Doom Service is known for playing loud, gruff and relentlessly melodic punk rooted in the ’90s influences, post-hardcore urgency and pop-punk hooks. Their songs explore the strange intersection of everyday life, ghosts, monsters, impossible science and late-night cult classics. The band calls it “spooky secret mystery punk.” Seven Days called them “an unkillable party machine.” As an ever-growing group of friends, Doom Servies makes music about life, death and all the strange territory in between. Carrying on the spirit of the old 242 Main Halloween shows, they’ve summoned a secret selection of covers to unleash alongside their usual paranormal punk-rock roadshow.
