It’s summer, which means the temperatures are hot and the tours keep getting hotter. Of course, summer isn’t complete without the Vans Warped Tour and this year the lineup is full of bands ranging from hardcore, electronic, pop-punk, ska, hip-hop and dubstep. Even the local scenes are represented by bands who have earned themselves a spot through contests like the Earn It Yourself: Spring! Into Action Tour. Both veterans and rookies of the tour join together to bring nothing but their best to the stage on each stop. So grab your sunblock, and dress to sweat because this year you’ll be dancing, moshing and screaming your lungs out. When it comes to the stops in Camden on July 21, Uniondale on July 23 and Oceanport on July 24, these are just 20 of the many bands playing those dates that you should check out.

From their debut, No Helmets, No Pads, Just Balls, the Canadian quintet have remained static as far as their lineup is concerned. Their first album helped the band connect with fans through songs such as “Perfect,” “I’m Just A Kid,” and “You Don’t Mean Anything.” Both their second and third albums, Still Not Getting Any… and Simple Plan shows how the band has grown both musically and personally. Their latest album, Get Your Heart On!, features exciting cameos and melodies that will get you going. Along with their music, the Simple Plan are known for their foundation that they set up called Simple Plan Foundation. The basis behind the charity is to help children and teens that are dealing with hardships, whether they are terminal illnesses, poverty, depression or war. {SOURCE}
