Wait, so Carly Rae Jepsen isn't playing Warped Tour? Then who is?

Adam Pfleider

Fang Island's Major and Pswingset's All Our False Starts will be rotated regularly this summer.

Thomas Nassiff

Flatfoot 56, Pentimento and Yellowcard. That is all.

Dre Okorley

Stop Breathing -- nardcore.

Jack Appleby

Completely blown away by the Thank You Scientist record - Prog with horns, viola, and trumpet. Fantastic release.

Kyle Huntington

Fuelling the already blazing fire of adoration for David Attenborough by watching BBC's Life in HD. 2:54's debut album too.

Christian Wagner

For those that don't know....H2O GO!

Alex DiVincenzo

Happy father's day!

Blake

Basically only the song "The One With Marc" by You Blew It! on repeat.

and

Make Do and Mend - Everything You Ever Loved

Dad

Motion City Soundtrack - Go
The Tallest Man on Earth - There's No Leaving Now
Mary Chapin Carpenter - Ashes & Roses

DIIV is so great, especially considering that there are entirely too many surf rock bands out right now

Jesse Ruins is kinda like M83 - but from Japan. Cool stuff.

Altmodisch is crazy good indie / electronica (like The Postal Service with more punk influences) from Copenhagen. Awesome band

My AOTY for sure

A Silent Film- Sand & Snow


Mumford & Sons- Dharohar Project EP


Dry The River- Shallow Bed

Also, I fucking hate that Yellowcard song. Come at me.

The Other F Word is a solid documentary, especially considering the fact that it's Father's Day and all.

Some other good Dad's Day jams:

Jack - Thank you for that rec...I love what I'm hearing so far. The songs on this album are huge, and pretty damn impressive.

I wish Carly Rae Jepsen was at Warped...
