thank god they are on a legit tour instead of headlining with a bunch of nobodys. Quietdrive isn't that great of a band but at least ROTY will get some exposure.

Really hoping Quietdrive show some hometown love when it comes to the tour dates, I would love to see both of these bands live.

Ditto to the first comment. No more headlines until a new full length is out.

I would enjoy them to come to Arkensaw again...Rookie did earlier this year with the nobodies...sooo hopefully they will make it here with real people...i would love that.

hrm. cool, id like this to come to LI.

Do either of these bands draw live? Quietdrive played a community college on their spring tour. Seems like they'd be better off throwing their money out the window of a moving car.

Rookie of the year is the best band I've ever seen live. Ryan's voice is 1000X's better live than on cd.

Neither of these bands stick out to me.

Quietdrive is one of my favorite bands, they have so many really good songs, and the singer has some pipes.

I love when my iPod is on shuffle and Maybe Misery plays after a song, the transition is just so smooth and filled with adrenaline.

Quietdrive had some real potential after their first album. A shame they'll probably forever be known as the Time After Time cover band. But I'll give their self-titled a chance to surprise me.

Hell yes. That, Rise From The Ashes, The Season, and Take a Drink -- all ridiculously solid pop-rock.

So is ROTY actually going to show up to the shows? Known for no-showing..

Idk but i went to a show that said ROTY were headlining and when i got there, there was seriously like 15 other bands playing and he played for 20 minutes at the most. So i drove 45 minutes to the venue for nothing.

Rookie of the Year needs to get hooked up with the right producer for the next album and the band/Ryan will explode. Dude is such a talented songwriter and just keeps going no matter what bullshit he has to deal with. Still one of my favorite artists.
