Anyone still reading this thing?

Whatup everyone, it's Scott. So guess what? We're already starting to talk about potential bands for the 2009 AP Tour. Here's a list of a bunch of bands whose names we've brainstormed; leave us a comment and tell us who you'd like to see together on a five-band bill -- or tell us who we've left out! Remember, we're not looking for arena-sized bands; we want to focus on up-and-coming bands that we can expose to a whole bunch of new peeps. Most importantly, the bands on the tour cannot have ever been on the cover of AP before.

Again, these are just ideas; nothing is set in anything close to stone (so don't go rallying street teams to "vote" for someone, because it won't matter). Ready? Here we go...

3OH!3
Bring Me The Horizon
The Devil Wears Prada
Family Force 5
Four Year Strong
The Gaslight Anthem
Hit The Lights
Johnny Foreigner
The Maine
Mayday Parade
Motionless In White
Person L
Pierce The Veil
Portugal. The Man
Red Car Wire
Set Your Goals
Sing It Loud
Sky Eats Airplane
Valencia
We The Kings

Tell us what kind of lineup you'd make out of all of those (five bands max, please!), and again, if we're missing someone you think we should know about, let us know that too!

I love Family Force 5! For sure them! Also Pierce The Veil and We The Kings. To finish off for the 5 bands thing, i'd say Mayday Parade and The Maine...

Anonymous said...

I would love to see Sing It Loud, Portugal, The Man, Set Your Goals, Valencia, and Person L. Actually, I wouldn't mind most of those bands,
but I would never want to see 3OH!3 or The Maine.

3OH!3 - i would kill to be able to work their set

3OH!3

I haven't really heard of any of those other bands, but 3OH!3 should be on the tour.

3OH!3 for sure, they are a must see. Kevin Devine, Said Shotgun to the Head, Lower The Casket and pierce the veil.

PIERCE THE VEIL or the tour doesn't happen! They are the definition of "up and coming" right now.

Also, Family Force 5.
Four Year Strong
The Devil Wears Prada
Person L

I know not a lot of people might rally for Person L but they are probably the odd man out on this list (just as Sonny was last time around) and I think a lot of kids will get into them if given the chance to see them live.

Anonymous said...

Mayday, Four Year Strong, Person L, Hit The Lights, Family Force 5 (Incredible live) sing it loud would be solid; as good as 3OH!3 is; I don't think they fit at all; they seem like such a gimmick as well; I like them a lot. but still don't think it'd be weird.

Alaina said...

Mayday Parade and Portugal the Man and I'm there!!

Anonymous said...

In the long shot department I'd also like to throw out two more names.

A Kidnap in Color

http://www.myspace.com/akidnapincolor

David Costa is Dead
http://www.myspace.com/davidcostalives

They have a full band now. Think Gym Class Heroes type live show with some screaming vocals. The new cd produced by Frank Iero of MCR will be out around the same time the tour starts.

Anonymous said...

RED CAR WIRE!!!! Love those guys - anyone catch them at Warped? KILLER!

Anonymous said...

Off the list:
Portugal. The Man
We The Kings
Person L
Mayday Parade

Off the top of my head:
2*Sweet
Dr. Manhattan (they were fabulous at Warped)

And in the long shot department:
Cinematic Sunrise
Anthony Green

Sorry it's more than five... haha =)

Not so much thinking BMTH and Set Your Goals should be combined with any of those bands on the AP Tour.

they are beyond spectacular and are really nice guys.

but my five from the list are..
Family Force 5
The Maine
Sing It Loud
We The Kings
and uuuum, Mayday Parade.

A Rocket To The Moon, Between The Tree, The Friday Night Boys or Hey Monday would also be nice to see.

They are all wonderful up and coming bands.
this tour better come to Toronto no matter what.
The Kool Haus would be a sick venue or the Opera House.
not the pheonix though like last year.
