Prison live in Rockaway

Experience Prison live on August 23rd

Prison is scheduled to perform at Ripper’s in Rockaway, New York on August 23, 2026. The band is generally categorized as playing noise rock, characterized by distorted instrumentation, abrasive textures, and often unconventional song structures. Their sound draws influence from post-punk and hardcore punk while incorporating elements of experimental music. Formed in the early 2010s, Prison has released several albums and EPs gaining a dedicated following within underground music scenes.

Ripper’s is a long-standing, intimate music venue located in Rockaway Beach, Queens. Originally opened in 2013 by musician Andrew Hoener, it quickly became known for hosting a diverse range of independent and underground artists, particularly those involved in punk, hardcore, experimental rock and related genres. The venue intentionally maintains a raw and unpolished aesthetic; it is notably small in capacity—approximately 75-100 people—and features a deliberately low stage allowing for close interaction between performers and audience members. Ripper’s has faced challenges relating to noise complaints and local regulations throughout its history but remains an important space for emerging and established artists alike.
