The tour dates have been set, the bands performing have been set, and tickets to the Van's Warped Tour go on sale on March 30. It is known that the headliner is the Emo-Pop band Taking Back Sunday, who may be known by their song MakeDamnSure.
Other bands on the line up include Yellow Card and New Found Glory being some of the more recognizable. With their songs Ocean Avenue by Yellow Card and the remake of Go West's song King of Wishful Thinking by New Found Glory (Videos below). The full line up and dates can be found on the website: Vans Tour Site. The tour spans almost three months starting on June 6th going through until August 5th. It kicks off in Salt Lake City Utah this year and ends in Portland Oregon, but spans the continent and even heads to Canada for two shows, one in Montreal and the other in Toronto.
Through my exploits of modern music, I have found one thing to be true: Alternative Rock reigns supreme in my life. It seems that the popular music culture is focused on playing a song until its death. Case and point: Adele's Rolling in the Deep I can no longer listen to that song without wanting to put my head through a wall. But there are several stations devoted to the alternative rock world and they have put such a broad spectrum on their music that they can play an ample variety of music anything from My Chemical Romance to the Neon Trees and anything in between. Even recently I have stumbled onto music which had become popular through a Chevrolet commercial. The Song is We Are Young by fun.
The chorus is very entertaining, and if you've seen the new Chevy Sonic commercial, you can probably sing it by heart. This is not the only new song I've heard that I find interesting. There are plenty of others that make the cut, this just happens to be a top the list of Alt Nation's, a Sirius-XM channel, most popular song of the week for the week of March 17. The song atop the list the previous week is another song to be a great interpretation of a break up, the song was Somebody That You Used To Know by Australian band Gotye (Go-t-yea).
Chose the lyrical video for that one because the actual video is a bit risky to put on this blog because I do not know who is going to be reading it.
