WE ARE WARPED!
The Vans Warped Tour heads out on its 17th summer, ready to traverse the nation’s highways and parking lots with a cavalcade of bands in tow. But more importantly, this year’s summer campaign is all about uniting the tribes to foster a sense of community. We asked members of ASKING ALEXANDRIA, AUGUST BURNS RED(WEB EXCLUSIVE: IN THE STUDIO), THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (WEB EXCLUSIVE: IN THE STUDIO, IN THE STUDIO INTERVIEW, EXCLUSIVE STREAM), GO RADIO (WEB EXCLUSIVE: TRACK BY TRACK, FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL), THE READY SET, THERE FOR TOMORROW (WEB EXCLUSIVE: TRACK BY TRACK), WE CAME AS ROMANS (WEB EXCLUSIVE: IN STUDIO INTERVIEW), THE WONDER YEARS (WEB EXCLUSIVE: TRACK BY TRACK, STREAM: “COFFEE EYES”) and others to share their stories about what makes them “Warped.” Because it ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at…
