New Found Glory Headlining Tour With Local Support

By Leave a Comment

New Found Glory will be doing some headlining dates before their tour with Dashboard Confessional. They will also be taking out Fallen From The Sky and Title Fight along with local acts. Have a suggestion for a local act to open for a show? Read the message from the band below for more info.

For the past few years NFG have not been able to hook up local bands due to a full traveling line up. We know how important it is to support local bands and local music scenes. That is how NFG got our start. We use to open locally in South Florida for bands like MxPx, the Get Up Kids, Unwritten Law,Bane etc. Playing those shows helped build our band and build our local scene. This tour will give us an opportunity to finally help out a little.

We ask you to “Tweet” @xchadballx and @steveisdareason some suggestions for local bands to open up the NFG show in their town. Please check http://www.myspace.com/newfoundglory for all the tour dates. Make sure you request bands only for our own headline shows, Not the shows we will be playing with Dashboard Confessional.

We do not want to piss any one off or discourage any bands so NFG will not be picking the specific band. We are just compiling a list of bands that we get the most requests for and submitting it to the local promoter to pick.

To all of our friends, family, and fans: We would like to let you know that we have let Craig Owens go as the singer of Chiodos.

We wish Craig well . We will absolutely be continuing on as a band and we will keep you informed as this next chapter unfolds.  Chiodos fans are the best fans in the world and all we can ask of you, after everything you have already given us, is to share in our excitement for this next album.

ENTICE: ORANGE COUNTY REVEALS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH 9/22/09

An Enticing proposition; Orange County based performers open the doors to welcome the release of their full-length album LET THE FIRE COME Available through Smartpunk/Amazon/itunes 9/22/09

Orange County, CA – Arising from the sweltering heat that has been burning down Los Angeles, one band seems to have the antidote. ENTICE, an Orange County based quartet has been turning heads with their appropriately titled album LET THE FIRE COME. The tracks carry over a relief of heavy, yet tranquil melodies that set the tone for a variety of publics to enjoy.

Recorded at Orange Crush Studio with producer Scott Silletta, LET THE FIRE COME exasperates the efforts of the hard working band and reaches a level of professionalism that promises to astonish even the toughest critics. The self-proclaimed singles “The Watchman” and “Who’s Got Your Money” have gained Entice a spot amongst the Alternative and Active Rock-Pop genres. The songs carry through mature lyrics and notions that fall above love, lust and heartbreak.

There is no question about these guys gaining support to potentially fit in with various radio formats. With every track out-doing the next, LET THE FIRE COME holds its weight in gold, yet Entice truly is all about the music. In accordance with the album release, all eleven songs are available for review via MySpace.

It’s no contest; this meticulous foursome is working overtime to establish something they refer to as “building a legacy, an empire-undivided.”

LET THE FIRE COME is a spot-on reflection of the goals Entice have set for themselves as performers.

LET THE FIRE COME is available for review and purchase through ITUNES and will be available through other online outlets on 09/22/2009.

**ALSO**
In accordance with the release, the band will unveil a new Myspace and live v ideo on 9/22/09 as well.

New album, new live video and new Myspace STILL not enough?
