All "Warped" up
Yes, it's that time again. WARPED TOUR! If you don't know, the Warped Tour is consistently one of, if not the summers hottest touring festivals. It features a great mix of bands both well known and little known, local and national. Warped Tour is a festival for music lovers of all genres. Whether you like rock or pop, metal or ska, or anything in between Warped Tour will likely supply it. This year From Inside the Pit traveled to Scranton, PA for our coverage.
A Day to Remember is one of this years Warped Tour headliners, and with good reason. The band delivers a high energy performance that always seem to come with a few surprises. ADTR brings a rock/pop sound to the table that makes it nearly impossible not to just cut loose and start dancing. They entertained the crowd with hit after hit, jumping guitarists, flying beach balls, a t-shirt gun, and even a special guest vocal spot for singer Mike Hranica of "The Devil Wears Prada". At the end of the day ADTR is one of the tours best bands to go check out and one that will not leave you disappointed.
The Scranton, PA stop of this years Warped Tour was a popular one this year, and with good reason. It was the first time in over a year that Paramore had played a U.S. show. 5:00pm and the fans are already packing the area around the main stage in anticipation of Paramore's 6pm set. After a meet and greet with the Paramore fan club the band took the stage to a loud chant of PARAMORE! PARAMORE! PARAMORE! They did not disappoint delivering a high energy crowd pleasing set, opening with "That's what you get" and finishing of course with "Misery business." The band also showcased their new song "Monster" which was a big hit with the crowd on hand. At the end of the day I believe that if you only saw one band during the day Paramore was it. I don't think live vocals get much better than those of Hayley Williams.
