Festival season is upon us, which means blazing hot sun, and everyone waiting to see what Vanessa Hudgens will be wearing to Coachella this year. But this also means Vans Warped Tour is quickly approaching. All summer long countless bands will be taking the stage across America, to play the longest running festival. Here are some of the upcoming bands that are definitely worthy of your attention.

1. Palaye Royale

A fashion-art rock band that are breath of fresh air in the scene. They're releasing their debut album June 24th titled "Boom Boom Room: Side A" featuring Mr. Doctor Man. With Remington Leith's vocals, and impressive instrumentals that make this a song that you can get up and dance to. Paired with eye catching circus imagery that'll keep you watching. Catch them all summer long on Vans Warped Tour.

2. Roam

A pop-punk band hailing from the UK who just released their debut “Backbone.” “Tracks,” the latest single off of the album, is a heartfelt rendition of a strained relationship. It shows a softer side of the pop punk group that will be alongside your playlist with All Time Low.

3. The Heirs

This Los Angeles based band with an electro-pop sound you’ll be sure to see more of. They have a familiar sound reminiscent of artists like Ellie Goulding but with a twist. They’ll be on the Poseidon stage all summer long.

4. Broadside

A pop punk band that could easily fit alongside State Champs. “Coffee Talk,” from their latest album, “Old Bones,” is sure to be a mainstay for the summer. Catchy choruses, jumps and a fun stage presence. Definitely keep an eye out for the Full Sail Stage.


5. Like Pacific

They blend early 2000’s pop punk with a slice of hardcore, which definitely gives them an evolved sound. They recently released their new album, “Distant Like You Asked," which oddly enough sounds like a line from a breakup text. Give their title track, “Distant” a listen below.



6. More to Monroe

This post hardcore band has recently just dropped their EP, "Appalachia." They also toured earlier this year with Ice Nine Kills, who will also be on Warped Tour this summer. More to Monroe will be jumping on later on this summer for the last week of tour. If they’re hitting your Warped date, definitely give them a chance.

7. Safe to Say

They are an alternative rock band from Ontario that will be playing Warped all summer. They’re currently working on a new album, but in the meantime give, “Summer Sickness” a listen off of "Hiding Games," their latest EP.


8. Gideon

This is a hardcore band that’ll be tearing up the Monster Energy Party Zone everyday this summer. They’ll make you pay attention, with knockout vocals and melodic choruses. Pick up their album “Calloused” and come see them on tour.

9. Assuming We Survive

A pop punk band that has been fighting their way to the top after a successful tour with Falling in Reverse a few months ago. People are starting to take notice, and for good reason. They’ll be releasing their latest album, “All Roads Lead Home” June 24th.

10. Waterparks

After catching Waterparks on tour with Never Shout Never, I went home and had to give them a listen. They have an interesting sound, and will get you off your feet live. Give their new EP, “Cluster” a listen on YouTube.


11. The New Low

A hardcore band worth listening to! They’ll be releasing their new album, “Continuance” this summer. Give their single, “Burning Bridges” a shot below.


Honorable Mentions:

These bands may not have made the cut, but they definitely should have a home on your playlist. Definitely catch them live this summer.

1. Ice Nine Kills

This band has made a name for themselves, with dynamic live performances and an impressive debut with “Every Trick in the Book.” A must see for fans of Crown the Empire and catch them at the Monster Energy Party Zone.

2. Wage War

Metal-core has never been better, and for the fans of this sub genre, they’re a treat. Fresh off their debut album, “Blue Prints,” they’ve been recently signed to Fearless Records and are great addition to Florida’s rock scene.

3. Avion Roe

A rock band from Dallas, Texas that gives a new spin on the often oversaturated genre. They give off of an early 2000’s vibe that is perfect for fans of Our Last Night, stream their latest EP “Into the Rest” now.

4. Old Wounds

A hardcore band from New Jersey, with a lead singer that reminded me slightly of William Control in looks. Rock out to them all summer, a definite contender for fans who are ready to release the demon in the mosh pit.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
