Spineshank returned to the stage for the first time in over a decade last night, July 9th, performing live at Jake’s Sports Cafe in Lubbock, TX. The set marked the band’s first show since August 2012 and kicked off their 2025 touring plans in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their breakout sophomore album The Height Of Callousness.
Fan-filmed footage from the show has surfaced, including a performance of “Negative Space” from that influential 2000 release.
The 2025 lineup features returning members Jonny Santos (vocals), Tommy Decker (drums), and Robert Garcia (bass/vocals), joined by Tommy Decker Jr. and former Chimaira guitarist Jason Hager. The band has confirmed that new material is also in the works, with further details to come.

Spineshank will be on the road throughout the year, playing a mix of headlining dates and supporting slots alongside The Union Underground, Adema, Julien-K, Sicksense, Carbonstone, Drowning Pool, (hed)p.e., and Snot. Select dates are part of The Union Underground’s 25th-anniversary run for …An Education In Rebellion.

Weston Cavanaugh let me know how it was lol
Toby Fox show was good. Met the band before the set.
Weston Cavanaugh ahhhh bro that’s tight,I was actually trying 2 make that show but work got in the way of that 🤬🤬🤬.did you get anything signed?
Toby Fox yeah tour poster
Weston hell yea!!
Weston Cavanaugh how was his vocals?
Anders Halvorsen shoot me a message I’ll send ya videos. They were about what you’d expect after 20 years haha
Weston Cavanaugh did they come on before the union underground?
Raymond Reynolds yes
Weston Cavanaugh damn hope I can get there by the time they start in Dallas
Spineshank
Just got mine for The Union Underground and Spineshank Co-Headline Tour: 25th Anniversary at The Bottleneck
Need more Silent Civilian
Bill Ricebut good Silent Civilian. The latest singles honestly weren’t that convincing…
I remember somewhere I discovered a 2 song tape. Yes. CASETTE! With this band. I was blown away! Would have been nice for them to have a bigger career but NU-METAL scene was ruthless to most bands.
Denis Kravs I remember promoting this album back then and handing out those cassettes! I used one of them as an ice breaker to talk to a guy in a Fear Factory shirt that I thought was cute (LOL) and we ended up dating for four years.
Rhonda Metech I was on the Streetwise promo team as well!
Rhonda Metech that’s so dope.
Denis Kravs Synthetic with the anime art. Yup, had it too. Absolutely played the hell outta the first one
Denis Kravs i found their song New Disease on a snowboarding video game and fell in love with them. Cant wait for the show here!
James Sabastian Raines the amount of bands I discovered thanks to skateboard and BMX videos. It’s wild. So I feel you on that!
I got mine at Perry’s rich pile records. It was track 1 and 3 in what would be strictly diesel
Denis Kravs DETACHED
I used to have such a sick tape and cd collection dudes. Sadly when sandy hit in 2013, all my stuff got destroyed. Including instruments. Drum set. Metal magazines from the 90’s. All gone.
Denis Kravs I mean, they did have their songs in movie soundtracks and we’re regularly on MTV and VH1.
Wahhhh why isnt there any days for NH or MA 🙁
J and B Productions
They look bored. And what is up with Santos voice?
Charles Johnson hey man what’s your band so can offer critiques?
Rus So Just an observation. I love Spineshank.
Charles Johnson im just happy to have em back!
Rus So I have a band and agree. This doesn’t look or sound too good unfortunately :/
Just as unmotivated as their last release..
Still, if they came to my hometown I would give them a chance and see them live.
Btw: I don’t have to be a head chef to criticize a meal that doesn’t taste good, just saying 😉
Michail Goomba Gunz exactly. Gatekeepers lol. Why gatekeep if the dude is struggling to sound good now it is what it is. Axel Rose proved that… i loved spineshank as well and am in a band and even we have off nights at times they gotta get back in the swing of things and it may get better.
Charles Johnson brah have you heard Guns N’ Roses and your hating on this dude.
Paulie Shaw Axel sounds awful as well. Not sure what that has to do with Spineshank.
Paulie Shaw guns and roses are fucked at the moment and should retire but so should spine shank. He sounds horrible
Charles JohnsonDrink more $13 over charged beers till it sounds good homie
Brandon Day
NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

Pretty awesome Hager is with them, I always liked him in Chimaira’s early days.
Saw these guys at Ozzfest….2001 or 2 for the first time and couldn’t get enough.
Aaron Howe same. 01. Walked in and they were already playing on the 3rd stage. Of all the things I remember from that day, they stood out the most to me
Pj Oberholtzer about how it was for me. Indianapolis
Spring Break 99!!
Johnie Angel Alvarez
Aaron Vasquez nice!
Hell yeah 🤘
I love LOVE Spineshank, love songs ‘Crawling in the Dark’ and ‘The Reason’!!!
Most favourite band EVER!!!
Marc Davies 😄
David Patrick 😉
Marc Davies this is satire surely lmao thats hoobastank you’re talking about 🤣
Arron Aston
Joshua Flower hoping for some Austrian dates
I just seen them live last night in Austin
Baron my bro n his girl were there
Sadly i couldnt make it so she recorded me the set! They getting aor of shit but dam im happy as fuck i can watch the set as much as i want…and they are gonna be touring about 6months i think and just like mudvayne touring started out kinda rough with chad even with lots of prepping
His tone is deeper too not the kid Johnny we all remember but kicked ass regardless
They better bring it on the main stage of inkcarceration fest next weekend
Mike Dell Jr with that new version doubtful . We shall see
Gary Mercer Chris McGrail Ryan Creager
Joel Bohrer i saw this!
Joel Bohrer I might go see them when I’m on my road trip next week.
Hell yeah!
Sure looks like Jonny Santos has let himself go which I would consider completely deserved karma. I met all of Spineshank at Music as a Weapon he was a total prick, but the rest of the guys were as nice as can be.
Greg Hardywhat did he say?
Greg Hardy They were all pretty cool when I met them 2012. Jonnny stayed to have a drink with everyone and signed stuff for free.
Wes Schumacher glad you had a better experience than I did. It made me a little bitter but only towards Jonny. The other guys were super nice. I was 17 when I met him but he didn’t care to give me the time of the day. He was too busy trying to talk to half naked women than some kid who just wanted to meet him I guess. I met so many other great musicians that day that made up for it. Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead, and Chimaira just to name a few.
Old Jonny boy putting on the pounds.
Daryl Poland that’s booze weight.
Frank A Bonanno as a friend of his.. yes.. booze weight. He’s putting them down at every show in Portland. Im hoping as his friend that a spineshank resurgence will help him find his way again. He was super lost without SS and silent civilian. I want him to get healthy
Daryl Poland we ain’t kids anymore fuck ya
Thought that was Dave Williams R.I.P. for a sec
Daryl Poland as we all usually do, with age.
This is the beginning of the end!!!!!
Met these guys at a show back in 2012 SLC. Have tickets to see them there again Aug 2.
So happy for them! They need to get their flowers 💐 they deserve it
Edwin Sanchez meh
Toby Yolevich Spineshank at Montage in September
Holy fuck Jonny, more like Lamb shanks.
Bowling for soup ??
Erik Mandel no, Spineshank. It clearly says Spineshank.
Daniel Puryear-Vieten it’s a joke I know who it is –

John Tollefson what’s the joke?
Daniel Puryear-Vieten he got fat and looks like the dude from Bowling for soup now
Erik Mandel I dunno about that
Daniel Puryear-Vieten think what you want –
Erik Mandel oh so just skipped to the punchline and I’m supposed to get it?
Underrated band from back in the day. Still love that album. But I’m pretty sure it’s 25 years old now?
It seemed like these guys were the opener for every concert I saw back in high school.
In lubbock texas of all places ????
