Real Friends
The Vans Warped Tour is an annual summer music festival which boasts being the oldest North American touring music fest as well as the US' largest. Spanning a wide range of genres, this summer's lineup (varying from venue to venue) includes Sum 41, Falling in Reverse, Crown the Empire, Four Years Strong, 3OH!3, Good Charlotte, Neck Deep, State Champs, We The Kings, The Story So Far, Mayday Parade, Sleeping With Sirens, and Yellowcard. Rocket talks about going to this years show in Mountain View, his third consecutive Warped Tour with his younger sister (her first concert). Rocket talks about the day's activities and all the bands they saw including many from the list above. Rocket also talks about Acme's summer show, The Madwoman of Chaillot, which closed this weeekend and the ensuing strike process to clear the theatre. Rocket also reads a good number of cringe-worthy elephant jokes because during the Madwoman shows he wished he had more elephant jokes on hand. All of the music featured on today's show comes from new or unreleased albums from artists on the Warped Tour. "Fake My Own Death" by Sum 41 off 13 Voices, "Weight of the World" by Crown the Empire off Retrograde, and "Rest in Peace" by Yellowcard from their final (rip) self-titled album.
