We The Kings It took so long to get through the entrance that we missed most of We The Kings. They are an American Rock band from Bradenton, FL, and no stranger to the Vans Warped Tour. They played in both 2013, and 2014, which also explains why the crowd was so massive! We made it near the stage […]

The Interrupters This Los Angeles based ska-punk band were your typical irish band, but with a frontwoman. Aimee Interrupter gave the band a certain edge that set them apart. Her dressed to impress bandmates include guitarist Kevin Bivona, bassist Justin Bivona, and drummer Jesse Bivona. They were engaging and fun. We were really impressed with the material off their latest release, Say […]

The Word Alive is another band that I had never heard of, but I was in the right place at the right time. When the band came out, one guy had on a Chicago Bulls jersey and hospital mask. Another looked like a laid back surfer with Hawaiian bucket hat, and then there was the average rock n’ roll guitarist […]

My confusion and lack of a map lead me to the Monster Energy North Stage. Motionless In White was up next. I was familiar with the name and I was pretty sure they wore some sort of costumes that might be fun to shoot. I wasn’t too far off. Motionless In White is a gothic metal/metal core band. They started […]

I stumbled upon this next band. I didn’t feel like fighting the crowds, so I waited by the Monster Energy South stage for whatever band was starting in 15 minutes. I watched Ice Kills Nine finish their set on the Monster Energy North stage, and as soon as they were done, a tattooed rockstar ran on stage. He was waving […]

With all the work I did getting to know new bands before the Vans Warped Show tour, I forgot about the bands I did know! When the line up came out I was really excited to see Mother Feather. They had a album come out on May 13, 2016 that I loved and had given a favorable review. When I […]
Read moreThe Vans Warped Tour this year was overwhelming. I thought I was ready to go. I had been listening to bands to get a feel for what I would be seeing and hearing. I bought a hydration pack. I put insoles in my sneakers. I even applied sunblock to every inch of me. Still, I was caught off guard with […]

With so many bands hitting the stage as part of warped tour, I find myself having a hard time picking which band to check out next. I decided to look into Ghost Town. This trio formed in Los Angeles in 2012 and was quickly signed to the Fueled by Ramen record label. With names like, Kevin “Ghost” McCullough, Alix “Monster” […]

In the spirit of Warped Tour, we thought we should mention that Sum 41 has a new album coming out on October 7th, titled 13 Voices. We have been trying to feature up and coming artists, but that doesn’t mean we should overlook the veterans! Sum 41 is a Canadian rock band that was formed in 1996. A punk rock, […]
Read moreI’ve been feverishly checking out the line-up for the Vans Warped Tour. There are a few recognizable bands, like SUM 41 and Less than Jake. Then there are bands that I have never heard of. As I scrolled down the list, “Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!” (C!NCC!) jumped out at me. A post-hardcore rock band from France was what I had […]
