Keep an eye on their schedule to see where they are playing near you, and for their debut LP “Lick My Soul”. Bandcamp Apocalipstick is a relatively new art punk band from Missoula, Montana. They incorporate a myriad of styles into our sound such as new wave, glam, blues, and even a little country twang. They love performing and we try to put as much energy as humanly possible into our live shows. Bandcamp
