Add to the sound of panties splashing the sound of a million boners popping up against denim: Circa Survive will be touring with Thrice and PELICAN. Until then you can read Ryan Prado’s Pulitzer-worthy piece with Anthony Green when you download your free issue of Synthesis Digital HERE. Or watch my interview with pelican’s Brian Herweg HERE.

I don’t know if maybe I just have shitty taste in music but I’m fucking jazzed about this year’s Taste of Chaos tour, which is like Warped Tour but with bands that scream a lot more and don’t have as cool of haircuts. Actually most of the bands headlining this year’s tour are anything but scene-cut tight pants-ers: the Deftones are all mostly all tubby bastards by now but still bring some shit; Thrice who are also mostly just chilled out dudes hanging back; and Story of the Year who are also just kind of tubby ass regular dudes (but still do the occasional guitar spin jump kick thing but whatever). Also, weird ass bands that aren’t really even all that metal like Dredg and Pelican are playing that shit this year, so no one can even talk shit. If you want tour dates and all the other bullshit, those fuckers just put up the new site here or you can just wait for the next issue of Synthesis fucking Magazine which contains a special Taste of Chaos section, with interviews with Thrice, Silverstein, Dredg, Atreyu and tour founder Kevin Lyman and all kinds of other sweet shit, bro.
