    Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics

    Up next on the Warped Tour lineup is Tallahassee, Florida's own Mayday Parade. They're at the front of the class, and today's subject is A Lesson In Romantics. Their 2007 debut album is packed with hooks, heartbreak, and song titles that are somehow longer than some of the songs themselves.

    Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit

    Set your alarms for 6 o'clock, because it's time we discuss Alkaline Trio's debut album, Goddamnit! One of the latest additions to this year's Montreal Warped Tour, they've given us the perfect excuse to book a trip to the City of Festivals this summer.

    Avril Lavigne - Let Go

    Her Royal Highness, the Pop-Punk Princess from Napanee, Ontario is in, as we discuss her debut album from 2002, Let Go. Whether you consider this record pop-punk, pop-rock, or pop-country.. you're absolutely right, because it checks all the boxes. So don't go choosing weed over Avril, because this is the best selling album of the 21st century by a Canadian artist, and she's anything but ordinary.
