In anticipation of the Warped Tour launching through Southern California this weekend, we figured it was time to compile a straight-forward hour-long collection of tracks, with artists from Michigan, Florida, Philly, Tennessee, Utah, Canada and many more locales..

The last Warped Tour I attended was in Chicago in the late 90’s, although it looks like you still have some of the same core bands. The sound has definitely changed to a large degree from that time frame, but there fortunately are still some solid groups to be found. The following is just a small sampling of those performing at various junctures of the tour, including “I Am Ghost” from Long Beach, “Pistolita” from San Diego, “Bad Religion” and “Fishbone” (LA), neighbors “Escape the Fate” from Las Vegas and “The Matches” and “Nothington” from the Bay Area:
