For more than 15 years, the Vans Warped Tour has united the best in punk, hardcore, metal, and indie for one of the most consistently potent annual touring lineups.
As the 2010 edition winds towards the West Coast for its conclusion, we asked Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba, whose band is one of the biggest draws on this year’s bill — along with All American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack, and dozens more — to pick his favorite acts on the tour.
It’s no secret that bands on Warped Tour like to have fun. But Alkaline Trio, featured in the newest edition of Warped Diaries presented by Wonka, take it to a whole different level. Watch as the dudes shower in the rain, sign fan’s necks and unveil their “quite interesting” business ventures.
Emilio sends in an update from Indianapolis! Make sure to check out his shirt and if you’re heading out to Warped, track down the Epitaph photographer wearing one, get your photo taken and enter to win a guitar.
As most of you know this year’s Vans Warped Tour has been making it’s way across the US. If you’re going make sure you get there early to grab some super cool Epitaph goodie bags!
