Ah, Warped Tour. What's better than being with your closest friends, seeing your favorite bands, having rad singalongs, and buying more merch than you can carry with two arms? Nothing? Yeah, I didn't think so. Despite the blistering heat, we're having a blast on the tour and I'm sure you are too! If you've already been to your local Warped date, I'm sure you've noticed that our "Animal Testing Breaks Hearts" campaign has really taken off. Both fans and your favorite bands alike are doing an awesome job spreading the word that product testing on animals is an unnecessary and cruel practice and needs to be stopped for good.

Check out these pictures we took of some of our favorite bands showing love for the campaign ...

Meg of Meg & Dia


Our friends in Saosin


SKSK with their new ATBH tees!


Big D & The Kids Table!


Jeremy of A Day to Remember

What else do all of the bands above have in common besides making awesome music? They all showed love for our campaign by also signing our petition!



Who has been your favorite band on Warped so far?



P.S. You can get in on the "Animal Testing Breaks Hearts" action by taking your own broken heart hand photo and posting it on our Facebook wall or making it your default on MySpace. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you sign our petition letting the world know that testing on animals is wrong and that you won't be part of it!

Be a Bunny's Honey! April 21, 2009

I'm sure I'm not alone in preferring the freedom of a Friday night to being stuck in school or work all week. But, I have to say as far as weekdays go Tuesdays are definitely my favorite days! Why? Tuesday is the day that new albums are released, duh!

Of the albums coming out this week, I recommend you pick up The Secret Handshake's My Name Up In Lights, Manchester Orchestra's Mean Everything To Nothing, and Meg and Dia's Here, Here, and Here. Not to be biased, but I feel like I owe Meg and Dia a personal shout out for the work they've done with peta2 in the past. When they're not busy headlining tours across the country, Meg and Dia have always made time to stand up for animals. Recently they starred in a PSA for peta2 reminding you to "Be a Bunny's Honey" and not buy clothing that contains fur. Even if it's just a little fur trim on your hoodie, an animal suffered through an unbearable life and was killed for that fashion accessory. I mean, who actually wears fur these days anyway? Not me!

What new albums have you been listening to lately? Right now I'm obsessed with Fireworks and Asher Roth!
