Vans Warped Tour 2015 kicks off today in Pomona, CA. Check out our picks of bands you can't miss when Warped Tour hits your city!
Jonas Notaro
Knuckle Puck
Since 2011, Knuckle Puck has been delivering amazing pop-punk to the scene. All their songs sound like they should be played at a house show surrounded by your closest friends!
The Wonder Years
If you don't know who The Wonder Years are, what are you doing with your life? The Philadelphia pop-punk don't just play pop-punk they live it. They will be on the tour all summer long and should be the #1 staple to your Warped checklist.
The Wonder Years - "There, There"
Senses Fail
Senses Fail started in 2002 and have slowed down since. They bring the most emo post-hardcore music ever conceived and their live shows are legendary. There's no reason not to get out there and enjoy Senses Fail as they take the stage this summer.
Senses Fail - "Bloody Romance"
Neck Deep
You know that band that you always hear about, but have never listened to? That is this band and you're going to regret not listening. Check out their newest single "Can't Kick Up The Roots" and their album Wishful Thinking. I can guarantee you'll be pleasantly suprised.
Neck Deep - "Can't Kick Up The Roots"
Silverstein
Warped Tour has really brought out their big guns this year. Silverstein may be a silent player in the post-hardcore game, but they pack a punch. 15 years of playing and they still kill the audience with bone-crushing verses and uplifting choruses. A definite must for your Warped Tour day.
Silverstein - "A Midwestern State of Emergency"
Nicky Parry
BoyMeetsWorld
Hailing from Cincinnati, BoyMeetsWorld is an up and coming pop rock band you don't want to miss. Their stage presence and sound is enough to get any crowd on its feet. Last year, these guys were a barbecue band for the tour. This year- they are playing all summer long! These guys are on the rise quickly and you want to be able to say you've seen them from the start. So pick up their brand new album, Become Someone, and sing along with this awesome band.
BoyMeetsWorld - "The Best You've Ever Had"
Moose Blood
Moose Blood, an emo band started in 2012, is joining the tour all the way from Canterbury, England. Their sound will definitely bring the nostalgia and emotions flooding back to you. This music is like what you'd hear in your mind while exploring and having fun with your friends. They are guaranteed to rock Warped this year.
Our Last Night
Our Last Night includes a pair of extremely talented brothers. They are high energy, hard hitting, and a MUST SEE on this year's lineup. Fun Fact: Our Last Night wrote "Sunrise" as part of their support for The Bully Project.
Handguns
These pop punkers are just known for putting on an amazing show. Always wonderfully intense onstage, they will be that band you'll walk away with a huge smile on. Handguns never disappoints and are an absolute must to have on your list.
Handguns - "The Loved Ones Who Hate Us"
Man Overboard
What more could I possibly say about Man Overboard? You should already know to catch their set. They've been a past Warped Tour favorite. Great tunes, great stage performance, great band overall. Do not miss these guys!
Ashley Setzer
H2O
Since 1995 H2O has been a huge influence on the hardcore scene. Inspired by bands such as The Cro Mags, Agnostic Front, The Descendents, and Token Entry, this band has a punk hardcore sound that will be brought to the stages of Warped Tour this year.
Being As An Ocean
Not only has Warped Tour brought 90's hardcore to the stages this summer but also new bands such as Being As An Ocean, a melodic hardcore band from California. Although the band usually plays small venues with no barricade, their set will prove well in sing-along with the crowd.
Being As An Ocean - "The Hardest Part..."
Pvris
Within the past year or so the alternative band Pvris has gone from being a little-known to a band whose climbed to the top at top speed, also becoming the first female led band that Rise Records has signed as well. This band's songs are extremely catchy, and you don't want to miss out on their performance.
Mod Sun
Not only does Warped Tour bring bands to you, but also solo artists. Mod Sun is a "hippy hop" artist who surrounds him and his music with positive messages and a positive outlook on life. Check out his latest album, Look Up, and be sure to stop by his set this summer.
Mod Sun - "Howlin' At The Moon"
Hundredth
Like we said, Warped Tour isn't skimping on the hardcore bands this summer. Hundredth is a hardcore band from South Carolina who just released their new album Free. This hardcore group is a must see this summer as well!
