So you don’t really like pop-punk? Hey, that’s okay! You’ll still be at Warped Tour this year. How do I know? Well, let me fill you in on what one website has been doing to accommodate all you hardcore, punk rawk, and indie music fans out there. Punkrocks.net has gotten in on the Warped Tour 2002 action and arranged to have its own stage at almost all of the venues! (Sorry, all you Canuck brokenstar readers, they’re skipping Calgary and Vancouver) The punkrocks.net stage will be jam-packed with tons of your favorite bands—and they’re playing for free! That’s right—the only way these bands can get from venue to venue is from merch sales, so go show your support by buying a t-shirt or a CD. And punkrocks.net is putting this thing together completely DIY. They are bringing their own PA, building their own stage, and are in essence running the show. Bands include the likes of Atreyu, From Autumn to Ashes, Park, Trial by Fire, Keepsake, Haste, Every Time I Die, Further Seems Forever, Hopesfall, Over It, Recover, Staring Back, District 7, Hope, The Aeffect, Unearth, Stretch Arm Strong, As Friends Rust, and tons more. Head over to Punkrocks.net for the complete list of bands and for the dates in your area. And keep checking back with brokenstar dot com for updates and interviews!
