ap tour

There’s no denying the Maine have accomplished a lot in their 12-year existence. They started out making their own records before signing to Fearless Records. They made it through the major-label machine unscathed, until they decided to go back to releasing their own music and having complete control over their careers. Anyone that passionate about […]

Anyone else get some serious FOMO from clicking through Wikipedia pages and tour posters and seeing page after page of dope tours? (Why did everything good in the world happen in 2006?) But what’s awesome and unique about our music scene is that it brings so many people of different age groups, interests and backgrounds […]

Previously on APTV, we saw what a monster seemingly sweet As It Is frontman Patty Walters had become. From threatening violence on his bandmates to merciless verbal abuse, Patty had to be stopped.  As the AP Tour came to an end, the rest of As It Is decided they could take no more and went […]

Real Friends check in from the AP tour, telling us how it felt to start off the tour in big cities, which video games they brought along and what was different about their show this time around.  The AP Tour concludes tonight in in Florida. Thank you so much for coming out to the shows and […]

In 2010, APTV went on an adventure to get into the World Series with JB Brubaker from August Burns Red while he was on the AP Tour. When he made it in, he showed us exactly “why August Burns Red don't sing” with a…uh, lovely rendition of “God Bless America.”  We also got to go […]

The last days of the AP Tour with As It Is, This Wild Life, Real Friends and Mayday Parade are approaching quickly, so APTV checked in with This Wild Life to talk about their experience on tour, bad jokes and the changes they’ve made to their setlist. “We’ve been touring off our same CD Clouded for […]

With these year’s AP Tour well underway, come with us on a journey through AP Tours past. Five years ago, Never Shout Never headlined the tour with the Cab, Hey Monday and the Summer Set. This all-access video will take you through karaoke-filled nights, pre-show warm-ups and Christofer Drew’s first time playing the main stage […]

With the release of their latest album, Black Lines, Mayday Parade set out as the headliners of the AP Tour with plans to showcase the most impressive stage production of their career this far. But along the way, they’ve run into some interesting antics while touring. “We wanted to take a step with our production […]

A decade into their career, MAYDAY PARADE remain some of the most consistently great songwriters in the pop-rock scene, even as they sonically reinvent themselves along the way. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the band’s albums, and whittling down their catalog to 10 tracks isn’t for the faint of heart. Don’t think […]

It seems like only yesterday that A Lesson In Romantics was making us feel all the feels, so it’s a bit of a shock realizing that Mayday Parade are celebrating a decade as a band. With a new album out last week and a headlining spot on the AP Tour, we caught up with frontman […]

The AP Tour bands sat down for a Google Hangout this past Friday to talk the upcoming tour, new albums and to answer fan questions. If you didn’t catch the live chat, here are some of the antics that you missed. This Wild Life’s, Kevin Jordan, jokingly called out As It Is front man, Patty […]

Last spring, Real Friends stopped by the AP offices for a live acoustic session during which they performed their 2015 APMA-nominated song “I Don't Love You Anymore” and participated in a livestreamed Q&A.  Over the next few weeks, we will be releasing more footage from this session with the Maine and Knuckle Puck, so stay tuned! […]
