Mixtape: Insomnia is Warped ’08 [Side A]

Mixtape: Insomnia is Warped '08 [Side A]The 2008 Warped Tour engine fires up today in Pomona, California (US) and the musicians invited will spend the majority of the summer nomadically performing across the country, storming toward the East Coast and then making their way back to Carson, CA for a grand finale in mid-August.

I’ve done my best to filter out the most breathy angst, gutteral Middle Earth screaming drowning out skillful instrumentation, excessive voice modulation, and tearful weeping hearts.

What’s left are around fifty of the stronger tracks from a more well balanced range of music that I could locate, spread across three mixtapes – the first of which you can listen to here. You’ll find that some artists in this compilation are playing the entire tour, while a few have been chosen to play select dates.

Please enjoy and check out the rest of this series in our festival mixtape section, right on the heels of this hourlong driverless ride. Muahaha!
