The Boston metalheads know how to grow a mean beard. Recently, (4/5 of) the band took a break from recording their second full-length to answer questions and share grooming secrets on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show.

So you've told us all about who you're most excited to see on this year's Warped Tour, which got under way on Friday and hits Phoenix tonight. But what about which bands other musicians are psyched to see? Yeah, we got the lowdown on that too. More.

OK, so really Warped tickets aren't expensive. But if you're like me, you might have issues along the lines of, "But I could use that money to pay bills!" Well, yeah, you could. But consider this: Warped Tour isn't just about music and alternative culture. It also provides a venue for nonprofits to reach out to concertgoers. More.

HOLLYWOOD – Despite co-founding the Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos and Rockstar Mayhem, and continuing to be intimately involved in the details of each tour, Kevin Lyman says he never wakes up in the middle of the night in a panic. Read it.

I can't believe Warped Tour starts this Friday!! There's so many good bands this year, I can't decide who I want to see most. I'll be at the Pomona show ... will you be there too? Which Warped Tour date will you be at? Here's some of the bands I'm most looking forward to ... who can't you wait to see?

Because we love Warped Tour AND because we love making ridiculous lists together, Christine and I have collaborated to bring you a Warped A-Z. With some bonuses thrown in there (*), because we're indecisive. And because we amuse ourselves.More.

I first attended Warped Tour in 1998, and back then I was only interested in one genre of music – punk rock. But with so much diversity at hand, I was foolish to spend my entire day watching 30-minute sets from bands I had seen perform hundreds of times before. While I'm not a regular hip-hop listener, I find myself wanting to travel back in time to catch sets from those Warped Tour performers who didn't exactly fit the punk-rock "mold."More.

Oh Warped Tour, how I love thee. Every year I go, I sweat, I sing, I buy sh-- and I have a great time. This year I'm going to be ON the tour for a little over a MONTH! Hell yes. But before this year's trek kicks off, let's reflect on the awesomeness that was last year. Get Warped, baby.

The Warped Tour is seriously right around the corner now, and guess what?! I'll be on some of the tour!!! I'm kind of totally excited. Do it!
