With Warped Tour only being a few days away, one might ask themselves, "Who should I look forward to seeing while I'm spending my day at Warped Tour?"
Well, it's your lucky day! I can tell you some great bands to check out at Warped Tour. I'll also include a link to one of their songs on youtube.
10. SayWeCanFly
OK, so technically this is only one person, but still nonetheless a great musician. Otherwise known as Braden Barrie, He got his start in 2009 and is almost celebrating one year with Epitaph Records (sign in July of 2015). Originating from Ontario, Canada, his music can be related to the sound of NeverShoutNever. His style is an indie, pop-punk sound. He plays mostly acoustically. Dates on Warped Tour: 7/22-8/13
Intoxicated I Love You - SayWeCanFly
9. Sleeping with Sirens
Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Sleeping with Sirens is also signed to Epitaph records. The entire band always performs really well. (I've seen them three times.) But frontman. Kellin Quinn will stand out with his crazy antics and mic swinging. Their style is consider post-hardcore and does have some 'screaming' within it. Dates on Warped Tour: 6/24-8/13
Do It Now, Remember It Later - Sleeping with Sirens
8. Motionless in White
Motionless in White is a metalcore band from Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, that's right). After forming in 2005, they got signed to Fearless Records. This band's stage performance is always something good to see. They all have strong and humorous personalities. Their songs include 'screaming' as well. Dates on Warped Tour: 6/24-8/13
7. Set It Off
From Tampa, Florida, Set It Off formed in 2008. They are considered to be pop-punk/alternative-rock. They are signed to Equal Vision Records. They always have a high energy and are willing to make sure they give their audience a show. Frontman Cody Carson (also known for covering popular pop songs) will make sure you are never disappointed. Dates on Warped Tour: 6/24-8/13
6. Bullet for My Valentine
From their start all the back in 1998, Bullet for My Valentine, reigns from Wales. Their style of music is heavy metal/metalcore. They are currently signed to Spinefarm Records as of April 1. The reason for Bullet for My Valentine to on this list is because of their classic heavy metal sound. They are a very well-rounded and have a very strong sound. Because of their experience in the industry, they know how to perform and give the audience to remember. (Unfortunately for me, they won't be at the Warped Tour date I'll be attending.) Dates on Warped Tour: 7/19-7/22
Tears Don't Fall - Bullet for My Valentine
5. Sum 41
Sum 41 is pop-punk band from Ontario, Canada. They formed back in 1996 and are still going strong today. As of May 11 of this year, Sum 41 has been signed to Hopeless Records and plan on releasing an album this coming fall. This band is a great band to see because of their style. Since they were strong in the 90's, their stage performance and music style shows that. If you enjoyed any kind of 90's pop-punk/punk-rock music, you will enjoy these guys! Dates on Warped Tour: 6/26-8/7
4. Good Charlotte
Good Charlotte is also a pop-punk that was formed in 1995. They were on a hiatus until 2015 when they announced to Alternative Press Magazine that they were reuniting. They are show a relations to Sum 41 (well would you look at that). This band is very outgoing and their stage performance will show that. This band is a good one to look forward to seeing because their songs are extremely catchy too! (Too bad I won't get to see them on my Warped Tour date.) Dates on Warped Tour: 7/19-7/28
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous - Good Charlotte
3. Issues
Issues is a relatively newer band, forming in 2012. Hailing for Atlanta, Georgia, they took the metalcore scene by storm. They are signed by Rise Records and can be compared to bands like Sleeping with Sirens and Pierce the Veil. However, they are heavier than those bands. Issues is made up of great performers. They just released a record, so they will definitely be showcasing their new music at Warped Tour. Dates on Warped Tour: 6/24- 8/13
Never Lose Your Flames - Issues
2. Ice Nine Kills
Ice Nine Kills or known as IX formed in 2006 from Boston Massachusetts. In February of 2015 they signed with Fearless Records.

They are an upbeat band with rather sad and depressing lyrics that are followed with catchy tunes. They are signed to Fearless Records. They also put on a great show (I've seen them four times).
