If you have access to the MTV2 channel this Saturday, be sure to tune in to the legendary Headbanger's Ball program. This Saturday's edition of the show is going to spotlight the awesome 10 for $10 tour, which is sponsored by ... you guessed it, peta2!

I really love the 10 for $10 tour because it's bringing together old and new hardcore fans in appreciation of the music and the hardcore community—and what isn't awesome about seeing Trapped Under Ice and Madball play the same stage for ten bucks?! Not only will this episode have interviews and live footage from bands like Poison The Well, Madball, Terror, Death Before Dishonor, War of Ages, Trapped Under Ice and The Ghost Inside, but you'll also get to see several music videos from the bands involved in the tour. If hardcore is your music of choice, be sure to check out the show which airs on Saturday at 2 AM ET/PT on MTV2.

The 10 For $10 Tour continues until August 14th and you can check out upcoming dates below:

8.05 Grand Rapids, MI Intersection
8.07 Clifton Park, NY Northern Lights

10 For 10 Tour: Win A Meet & Greet With BANE! July 14, 2009

When I first heard hardcore (Minor Threat or Bad Brains, anyone?), I fell in love with pretty much everything about the genre. The music was intense, the messages were positive, there were more vegetarians than any other music scene, and many were also straight edge. I no longer felt alone in my moral and ethical beliefs, and I had an army of kids behind me that felt the same way.

When I heard that peta2 was going to be sponsoring this summer's "10 for 10" Tour, I couldn't help but be excited. This "10 for 10" tour has a rotating lineup of some of the most legendary names in hardcore, and some newer bands that are getting hype too. These shows are bringing together different generations of hardcore fans under one roof in appreciation for the music and the scene—all for ten bucks. Shows like this are what makes hardcore great, and because animal rights has always been such a huge part of hardcore, it only makes sense that peta2 would be involved. Not wanting you to miss out on any of the fun, we want you guys to be involved too—that's why we're giving you the chance to win a "meet and greet" with a band that is listed as a favorite band by so many—BANE.
