The Word Alive announces two upcoming tours.  They will start out playing with Eyes Set To Kill on their US Tour beginning early September in Austin, Texas and ending in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Then they immediately head out on tour with Silverstein in late October. If the band doesn’t hit your town in either one of these tours, not to worry, they do plan on a third tour before the end of the year.

To check out the dates and locations of the tour, take a look at the bands MySpace page or check out the Dying Scene Shows page for updates.

The Word Alive’s latest album, “Empire,” was released July 21, 2009, on Fearless Records.

How Dare You has just uploaded a new song to their myspace page. The song is titled “Still Young.” No clue if this is a song they recorded for one of the 2 split 7 inch records they have been working on or if it is a song they recorded for perhaps a second full length album. How dare THEY not give us a clue! In any event, go check it out and let us know what you think.

The bands last album, “Comfort Road,” was released on Fail Safe Records November 4, 2008.

Take a look at Life On Repeat‘s studio blog #2. The band has been working on their first EP, which will be released on Equal Vision Records.  We don’t know the name of the album yet or the date of release.

If you want to check out the band and be entertained for a few minutes, watch singer Pat tracking vocals and catch some mad tambourine playing here.

The band has some upcoming shows and you can take a glimpse at the Dying Scene Shows page to see if they are coming to your town.

No more awesome bands playing awesome music in the awesome heat of summer, no more moshing, no more circle pits, no more skankin, no more crowd surfing, no more lost shoes, no more flashing boobies, no more broken bones, no more free stickers, no more mud fights on those rainy days, no more droopy mohawks, no more Denny’s all-nighters, no more tents, no more goodie bags, no more autographs, NO MORE WARPED….. until 2010. The folks that put this whole beautiful thing together each year, would like to thank the people who make it all worth while… YOU.
