Descendents, Elvis, Fishbone, Deals Gone Bad...hmmm. Anyway. i have no friggin idea why The Promise Ring is back. I hope it is just to be worked into GWARs stage show where they are disemboweled and draped like curtains for the fans to marvel

Random lineup, some good bands though. My mom once had a high school class with Iggy Pop (before he started the Stooges), she told me "He was so quiet back then, not like he is now", hahaha

anonymous 5/15/2012 11:02:07 AM

anonymous 5/15/2012 11:11:47 AM

original chiodos line-up gives me a boner.

Holy Christ, all this for $36? It's like $100 to see Elvis Costello here. Our festivals are like $75 per day.

A Day to Remember = cash grab for the skinny jeans crow. Aside from that embarrassment, it's a decent line-up.
