Warped Tour 2018: The Final Cross-Country Trek Tour • Page 47

I've seen one of the bands before and heard of another playing my date. Both are metalcore

 

Most of these bands are on Spotify. I've made a playlist featuring most of the bands confirmed for this year's tour

Guessing Blink is 100% off

 

How much money does Warped think kids have to take a weeklong trip to Vegas?

 

I doubt it, but I’m hopeful they could maybe do a guest spot in San Diego or Pomona

 

I'd fly out to that

 

You don’t have to be there for a full week just to go to one concert to be fair

 

everyone dies in utah is still a band? lol

 

God, I would literally die and go to Heaven.

 

“Make a trip out to Vegas for a double-header,” when the dates are 5 days apart. Lol.

 

lol tons of kids are from white, suburban families with more money than they can handle.

Also tons of adults like Blink and are going to go to the last Warped.

And there's people like me are in their early 20s who can scrape some $ together for something like this. Not worth it for me though

 

The rumor is that blink will be a surprise day-of guest for Pomona, so the vegas thing doesn't interfere with that

 

Pomona date is 6/21. They play Vegas two days later on the 23rd and 24th. It could work...

 

Yeah

Although blink playing shows every weekend over like a few months instead of touring is the definition of them becoming old men

 

Of the ones who are doing my date (7/26), I've heard of Downswing and Circuit Of Suns. Downswing is signed to Rise Records. Circuit Of Suns is a Mathcore band featuring old members of Through The Eyes Of The Dead and My Bitter End.

The other one, Stone Clover was new to me, but they're kinda fun. Pretty much a typical Flogging Molly/Dropkick Murphys style band, but I imagine they're energetic live. And their fiddle player is female so that's one more woman on the Scranton lineup.

As for the full tour bands on that stage, Farewell Winters did the whole tour last summer too. I remember hearing they were the BBQ band last year which is probably why they're back again despite gaining basically no traction since last year. They only have 463 Facebook likes. I remember in the mid 00s there was a band called Dork (changed their name to Animo I think?) who did the tour like 4 years in a row as the BBQ band and never caught on.

Lighterburns is pretty basic Pop Punk/Pop Rock that sounds like it came from the mid-late 00s. Not that bad.

 

Uhh something happened to the page



Looks like it's an issue with FIrefox or my PC, never mind...

 

In Hearts Wake sounds like painfully boring by-the-numbers Metalcore to me. Do they get better? I'm listening to the first album

 

Earthwalker is their best work imo. I get where you're coming from with the by the numbers metalcore thing though. They've always reminded me of a poor mans Northlane (which reminds me, if you like Northlane then try the Equinox DO that IHW and them did together), but they're consistently good live.

 

Never liked Norhtlane either.

I have no idea why Wage War gets the "generic" tag but not IHW. I mean I wouldn't mind seeing them open for a band at a club tour, but I doubt I'll have time to see them at Warped.

 

Issues at Warped Tour. confirmed! wait...

 

They're decent but their songs with the Halo breakdowns make them stand out for me

 

They are good, I just expected more. The second half of Divination is pretty good. I like the cleans and some of the guitar work, but not enough to have be a likely-to-see band

 

Kind of surprised Northlane never did the tour

 

I could be wrong, but I think they may have fallen into the "we have no interest category."

 

I remember in the mid 00s there was a band called Dork (changed their name to Animo I think?) who did the tour like 4 years in a row as the BBQ band and never caught on./QUOTE]

Yes, Animo. Got to see them twice, decent band. Thanks for the nostalgia.
