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!

Hey yo!

The one and only peta2 Road Crew is reporting again from the road as we continue to rip through the country on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour. We've been on tour with our friends in Thursday and Bring Me the Horizon informing audiences across the U.S. about the effect factory farming has on the environment. Thousands have signed our "Meat's Not Green" petition during this tour and hopefully you're one of those thousands, but if you're not, you can sign it here.

What's all this talk about the environment and slaughter houses? Well according to a study done by the United Nations, the factory farming business is the number one contributor to the global warming problem our planet is experiencing. Want proof? Factory farm raised animals use 50% of the water consumed in the U.S. Want more? To make one pound of hamburger it takes the same amount of water as 17 showers. That's nuts right?! I know I know, you might be thinking "What can little ol' me do to stop this? I mean the planet is HUGE!" Well the best way to help is to go vegetarian. Not only would you be saving the planet but you'd also be saving animals. It's a win win! To find delicious recipes and ways to make your veg transition easier, hop over here.

This week on tour we've had a variety of friends come help spread the word about saving our planet and animal friends. Street Teamers Laura and Kelly came out to the Orlando and San Antonio shows, and assisted us in completely rocking those crowds. Those girls really know their stuff and made a major impact on how many people we reached on those dates. Thanks ladies for caring so much and kicking butt! Want to come help us at a show? It's easy, just join the peta2 Street Team and join a community of awesome-ness and animal saving!




Our friend Luis Dubuc from The Secret Handshake was at the Dallas TOC show and he signed the petition as well.


Well that's it for now from us on the Taste of Chaos Tour. Come out to the show when it rolls into your town and don't forget to sign our petition and say hi. Keep animals in your hearts and minds!

Keep rockin'!

P.S. Meat SUCKS!
