Radio Rebellion Tour


Norma Jean, Between the Buried and Me, and Fear Before the March of Flames will be featured on the Radio Rebellion Tour beginning in Nashville October 6th.

"This is not a 'F*ck you, radio' thing," says tour co-founder Graham Day. "We're looking to promote this niche of bands that have an insane fanbase, who are loyal and love music, in a very grassroots way, just as these bands have managed to gain a following in a grassroots way. All the bands combined [have] sold over 500,000 records without the aid of radio."

I appreciate this. I personally don't like arena or festival shows because they're so impersonal and crowded. I would much rather be squeezed between 1000 people than 20,000 people. It also helps in the "mob rule" condition that tends to be created when you start getting above a few thousand people in one cramped location.Read more about the tour here
