Michael Cera Palin

Michael Cera Palin plays Supersonic in Paris on August 25, 2026. The Atlanta trio moves between emo, indie punk and alternative rock, with that Midwest emo touch—tense guitars, forthright melodies and shifts in intensity. Their songwriting, introspective yet direct, turns very personal emotions into sing‑along choruses, framed by clear arpeggios, jagged bursts and breaks that kick everything back into motion. On stage, dynamics come first: tempos that surge and then pull back, guitars that twist and settle, a solidly grounded bass, and vocals that move from whisper to scream without losing the melodic line.

After two EPs released between 2015 and 2018, a hiatus, and a comeback driven by singles and more regular live shows, Michael Cera Palin has broadened its palette without losing the tension of its early work. The band alternates melodic passages with punk blasts, carrying an indie‑rock sensibility that avoids posturing. If you like Jimmy Eat World, Joyce Manor or Turnstile’s energy, you’ll be on familiar ground—Atlanta style: storytelling guitars, dynamics that shake things up, and songs that stick with you. Catch them at Supersonic for a set where melody and tension play off each other.
