Sounds of soundwave
We all know last years line up was amazing but you have to remember that, that was a one-time deal. Last year was a special occasion but that doesn’t mean that this year’s line-up won’t be good. And it is so good.

What's up at Warped
the offspringThe Offspring is a band that symbolizes everything that awkward, punk rock teenager love and have given their fans a place to embrace and admire their own differences. With songs such as “Pretty Fly for a White Guy” the band are known for their good humour and acceptance of all that is strange and wacky.
The Offspring consists of Dexter Holland (vocals, guitar), Noodles (guitar), Greg K (bass) and Pete Parada (drums). Following a riot at a 1984 Social Distortion show, high school buddies Dexter Holland and Greg K decided to start a band of their own in Garden Grove, California. The Offspring have now put out 8 records, performed over 1000 shows across the globe and are known for their many hits including "Self Esteem," "Come Out And Play (Keep 'Em Separated)," "The Kids Aren't Alright," "Hammerhead" and "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid." Alongside famous punk acts such as Green Day, Rancid, Social Distortion and Pennywise, The Offspring is well known for popularizing pop punk and skate punk. Their music has contributed to he revival of mainstream interest in punk rock. There is no doubt that you have heard one of their songs and with a killer stage presence and set list, The Offspring are definitely worth the time to check out at this years Warped Tour!

The band formed in 2002 and since then has released four full-length albums (Killing with a smile, Horizons, Deep Blue and Atlas), one EP, two DVD's and one split album.
The band has an avid fan base that is not above stealing the actual Parkway Drive sign. The sign at Parkway Dr, Mooloolaba, is one of the most coveted and stolen signs in the region. In fact a Byron Bay Council spokesperson said fans steal the sign for the iconic street about six times a year. It's been stolen so often that Sunshine Coast Council has had to reinforce it at the base. With a fan base this dedicated it is no doubt worth taking the time to see what all the fuss is about at this years Warped tour. The band won’t disappoint and are always open to acquiring more sign stealing fans.

Warped line-upWarped tour has been on my calendar (and we think it should be on yours as well) ever since it was announced in February and I have been waiting with bated breath for the line-up. So without further ado the 2013 Australian Warped tour’s line-up consists of:
THE OFFSPRING PARKWAY DRIVE SIMPLE PLAN NEW FOUND GLORY THE USED HATEBREED TONIGHT ALIVE THE SUMMER SET KIDS IN GLASS HOUSES WE CAME AS ROMANS MAN OVERBOARD CROWN THE EMPIRE THE DANGEROUS SUMMER FOR ALL THOSE SLEEPING VEARA ANARBOR MALLORY KNOX RDGLDGRN Simple planSimple Plan is a French Canadian pop punk band from Montreal,Quebec. Since its inception in 1999 Simple Plan has seen no lineup changes. The band has always consisted of Pierre Bouvier (vocals), Jeff Stinco (lead guitar), Sebastien Lefebvre (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), David Desrosiers (bass, backing vocals) and Chuck Comeau (drums, percussion). The band have released four studio albums (No pads, No Helmets … Just Balls, Still Not Getting Any…, Simple Plan and Get Your Heart On!).
The bands fun pop punk music and fan mentality has won it a legion of adoring fans. Simple Plan's connection with its fan base has translated into a string of hit singles, including "I'd Do Anything," "Addicted," "Perfect", "Welcome To My Life",“Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me)?", “When I'm Gone" and "Your Love Is A Lie,". Any one who was a kid in the 2000s would definitely know this bands sound and the words to at least one of their songs. Simple Plan have performed at the Vans Warped Tour every year from 1999 – 2005 and also in 2011, so it is no surprise that they have agreed to play the 2013 Vans Warped tour. It wouldn’t be Warped without them and for that reason alone you should go check them out.

Deciding to bring in other musical instruments to give his music depth, Matthews found assistance in Carter Beauford (Drums), LeRoi Moore (who passed away in 2008) and Jeff Coffin (saxophonist), Stefan Lessard (bass), Peter Griesar (who left the band after a couple of years and played keys) and Boyd Tinsley (violinist)
With a phenomenal career spanning 21 years, eight acclaimed studio albums, 11 major label released live albums, plus 26 Live Tracks releases, box office records and a worldwide adoring and somewhat fanatical fan base. It is surprising to remember that the bands first public performances were at a Middle East Children’s Alliance Benefit at Trax Nightclub in March and at the City of Charlottesville’s Earth Day Festival. If eleven live albums are anything to go by DMB are a band that live to perform and they don’t disappoint. If you are not one of Dave Matthews Band ‘enthusiasts’, we are sure you will be by the end of their set.
