Fit For A King, In Hearts Wake, Like Moths To Flames, Phinehas talk tour pranks, pick-up lines

That's right, folks: Fit For A King and In Hearts Wake will be headed out on tour a month from today with support from Like Moths To Flames and Phinehas. To celebrate this steel-melting lineup, we asked all of these bands about their life on the road. From long-drive guilty pleasure tunes to tour pranks, the dudes on this tour are fearless, fun and not about PSL season. But you'll just have to read on to see what they had to say.

Fanboy for a minute: Who would be your dream band to tour with?
RYAN KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING:
At the moment, I would have to say Architects! Been one of my favorite bands for a long time, and I love Sam [Carter]’s vocals.
JAKE TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: As I Lay Dying.
CHRIS ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: Huge Senses Fail fan. One of the bands that really brought me into music.
BRYCE KELLEY, PHINEHAS: Creed. End of story. We don't joke about Creed.

What food do you miss most when you're on the road?
KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING: I absolutely love my wife’s Chicken Parmesan. It can’t be beat.
TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: Fresh Salads. Foraged from my backyard
ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: Home cooking. I am a country boy at heart, so I always love “Thanksgiving” type meals.
KELLEY, PHINEHAS: Lobster. We miss that all the time though because we are a metal band and can't afford those things.

Which of your lyrics would make for a great pickup line?
KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING: “You will know my misery”
TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: “I am the bow, and you are the Arrow.”
ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: Unless you want to be turned down and drinking alone at the end of the night.. None of them haha
KELLEY, PHINEHAS: “Next time you look in the mirror I hope your eyes go blind.”

Fall is here: Team PSL or nah?
KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING: I worked at Starbucks during high school/college and can confirm that PSL’s are amazing.
TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: Well it’s Spring here in Australia. No idea what PSL is but it sounds like a cool video game.
ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: I’m going to assume we’re talking about Pumpkin Spice here.. As a smell, yes.. As a flavor, no.
KELLEY, PHINEHAS: Only coffee and Dr. Pepper.

If you could play any music festival in the world, which would you pick and why?
KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING: I would have to say Self Help Fest. Minimal stages, massive bands, and a great time, or at least I would imagine it is.
TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: Vans Warped Tour. So many mates, amazing cities and a whole lot of fun in the sun!
ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: Rock on the Range. Hometown festival in Columbus that we’ve spent years going to.
KELLEY, PHINEHAS: Any of them. We just like to rock. Wacken Open Air Festival would likely be at the top of that list. What metal band wouldn't want to play a metal festival of that status and magnitude.

Embarrassing or not: What guilty pleasure artist do you like to listen to on a long drive? (Any secret Carly Rae Jepsen fans?)
KIRBY, FIT FOR A KING: I may not like her music as a whole, but “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift is such a catchy song. So you MAY catch me jamming that.
TAYLOR, IN HEARTS WAKE: Nickelback. Although none of us feel guilty about it.
ROETTER, LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES: Honestly never been one for guilty pleasures. I tend to embrace whatever I’m listening to. Used to call bands like Breaking Benjamin and Papa Roach (“Dad Rock”) my guilty pleasure bands but as I’ve gotten older it’s what I find myself listening to.
KELLEY, PHINEHAS: We listen to the radio because that’s all our 16-year-old van has. If we had a choice it would be a guilt free spanning of the musical spectrum. Whatever the mood calls for. (I wanted to say Creed and all its subsidiaries but I have been told I talk about them too much.)
