It’s that time of the week again! The Vans Warped Tour announcement is in, and this week the legendary touring festival is adding Emarosa (6/19-7/12), Mod Sun, PUP (7/1-7/29), ’68, The Karma Killers, and MC Lars to its line up.
A Loss For Words have announced the first of their final shows together as a band in 2015, accompanied by Pentimento, Speak Low If You Speak Love, and Like Pacific.
This week’s Vans Warped Tour announcement adds ChrisB, Jule Vera, Seaway, The Amity Affliction, and This Wild Life to the 2015 lineup. The tour returns for its twenty-first year on June 19th, and will spend the summer rocking cities across the country.
When you’re trapped in the hellish nightmare of a busy mall in December, it’s not unusual for the tinny sound of Christmas music to make you wish you would get trampled to death by a thousand frantic shoppers just to put an end to your suffering. Thankfully, hearing your favorite bands cover the same songs has the opposite effect.
Summer might be months away, but the Vans Warped Tour is already getting us stoked for sun on our skin and music in our ears. The annual concert festival has just announced the first five bands on the 2015 lineup, which are Neck Deep, Palisades, Front Porch Step, Handguns, and Kosha Dillz. More acts will be announced each Wednesday, leading up to another year of the world’s most punk rock tour.

In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we look at some of the other crimes that have landed musicians behind the ever-so-flattering lens of the mugshot camera.
It’s easy to close a song by repeating the chorus or slowly fading the music out, but every once in a while a song comes along whose ending takes you somewhere completely unexpected.
It’s a struggle most of us have experienced with our families, at least to some degree — the parents think the kids’ music is unlistenable garbage, and the kids think their parents’ music was recorded by the first dinosaurs to ever hold guitars. But when you find those rare few bands that occupy the middle ground between everyone’s tastes, it’s a special moment that brings the family together way better than getting a pet fish ever could.
In celebration of all the great music the UK has given us, we’ve put together some of our staff’s favorite up-and-coming UK artists in this week’s Tuesday Ten.
