There's no denying that for 25 years, Warped Tour was a significant rite of passage for alternative bands. Especially during the 2000s, the festival brought us performances by just about every group we knew and loved. "Just about" is a rather significant caveat, though. Whi...

Nothing grabs listeners' attention like a good diss track. After all, it's pretty much human nature to tap into any source of drama one can find. Eminem's been on a roll with the tactic. The rapper made headlines after taking a jab at Machine Gun Kelly on his 2018 album, Kamikaze. Now...

After saying farewell to the long-standing summer touring festival in 2018, Warped Tour officially came to a close with a three-event anniversary run in 2019. But have we actually said goodbye to Warped Tour for good? The tour's founder Kevin Lyman is finally speaking out on whether or not he thinks the iconic summer festival could make a return in the future...

The 2010s brought us a new wave of alternative music. From the rise of pop-punk revivalists, including State Champs and Neck Deep, to modern hardcore outfits such as FEVER 333, the scene is alive as ever. Much like during the pop-punk heyday of the 2000s, our favorite bands feel like an extension of who we are...

What the creative mind behind Vans Warped Tour says can happen, however, is the exchange of ideas and the expansion of networking opportunities within the industry. A...

With the 2020 presidential election only a couple of months away, National Voter Registration Day is upon us, and the scene is reminding you to make sure you’re registered. Registration deadlines vary in each state, but it’s better to do it sooner rather than later to make sure you can put in your ballot Nov. 3.  Onl...

As the Trump administration moves forward with an executive order to ban downloads of TikTok and WeChat, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman hopes that it will be the incentive needed to get influencers involved with voter campaigns.

Dominic Harrison, aka YUNGBLUD, may not have known it at the time he tattooed two black hearts on his middle fingers, but he’s been preparing for total domination for years. Boasting a rambunctious personality, a no-fucks-given attitude and a skirt to boot, Harrison has channeled a generational movement through YUNGBLUD.  ...

Over the past few weeks, some states have begun phasing out of coronavirus lockdown. As these restrictions continue to be lifted, establishments are reopening and concerts are resuming. This past weekend, Smash Mouth and Trapt performed to crowded and unmasked audiences in South Dakota...

Summertime is upon us, and although the last show of the Vans Warped Tour is now a year behind us, it still lives on in our hearts. At least that’s how the saying goes, right?  As you mournfully celebrate 25 years spent navigating between killer sets, moshing in sweltering heat and chasing photo ops with your favorite bands, go ahead and answer some questions about your music taste and other Warpe

Comedians and musicians are more similar than you may think. They both strive to make their audience think, feel and see things in new ways, love saying “fuck” a lot and travel in busses across the country, consuming a questionable amount of gas station food and Starbucks coffee. Below ...

We're keeping our fingers crossed that a recent comment by Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman means it's coming back. Warped Tour officially officially came to an end after a three-event anniversary run in 2019. The long-standing summer touring festival ended in 2018.  Now ...

Not even the coronavirus can stop Talinda Bennington and Kevin Lyman from doing good. The 320 Festival, a program designed to address aspects of mental health, goes live tomorrow morning online. Once the pandemic put a moratorium on live music performances and major gatherings, the widow of Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington and the founder of Warped Tour turned an all-day program into a thre

We’re well into this new temporary way of life of being stuck at home due to coronavirus. Retail stores, bars, restaurants and now movie theaters have closed their doors to the public. This means you’ve probably been sitting inside cycling through the same TV and movie options on Netflix and Hulu, as well as music playlists. However, t...

The uncertainty regarding the coronavirus pandemic is a warning against restarting the economy prematurely. Safety issues of having masses of people gathering again are still yet to be determined. Festivals are being pushed into later in the year, but it feels guided by optimism than science...

Genres? Who needs them? There used to be a time when music listeners were so defined by what they listened to, they might as well have been street gangs. Punk rockers. Metal heads. New wavers. Goths.
