The Color Morale are attacking Warped Tour with a vengeance and fans are anxiously awaiting the band’s new album, Desolate Devine, due out August 18th on Fearless Records. On separate dates of Warped I spoke with lead singer Garret Rapp and unclean singer and guitarist Aaron Saunders about the upcoming album.
Sleeping With Sirens are moving across the country all summer long on the Warped Tour in support of their album, Madness. I caught up with the band on this year’s tour, and a video interview with the guys can be found below.
As the rest of the nation watched in abject disbelief, Republicans descended upon Cleveland last week for what might, in retrospect, be best described as a suicide party. The Nominee Who Must Not Be Named delivered his usual bile (you know the formula by now) and promptly scared the living shit out of anyone who dared dissect even a single component of his rhetoric. But just minutes away, Third Eye Blind had successfully injected a small but Twitter-shattering shot of truth into an otherwise bullshit-laden establishment. Though initial reports inaccurately cited that Stephan Jenkins and company had actually played at the Republican National Convention itself, a band-issued clarification (and anyone actually familiar with the band’s lyrical content) promptly confirmed otherwise. The band played at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a Musicians on Call fundraising event, an event that’s unaffiliated with the Republican Party. However, given that the bulk of their audience that fateful evening were RNC attendees, the band eschewed their usual arsenal of hits for an impassioned plea to GOP faithfuls to reject the anti-LGBT and anti-science platform their party has perpetuated for decades.
