Humorously named by All Time Low, the "Compromising of Integrity, Morality, & Principles in Exchange for Money" tour kicks off October 9, 2008 in Virginia. This tour will take its upbeat sound [so it will be all rainbows and lollypops?] coast-to-coast through November 29th.

Mayday Parade: It is often unheard of for an artists debut album to remain on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart for over 30 weeks, however Mayday Parade's first studio album A Lesson In Romantics has achieved this and has no plans to let up. Praised as one of the "Five Bands that Broke Out" at Bamboozle 2008 by Rolling Stone [some might hold that against them], Mayday Parade continues to make headlines by touring with the likes of Paramore, Plain White T's, Emery and Madina Lake. [Really? The last headline we had on them was back in Feb] Mayday Parade continues to perform daily in front of thousands fans all summer long on the Warped Tour.

The Maine: With down-to-earth lyrics and a bright energy,[whatever that is supposed to mean] it's no surprise that success has come quickly for the rock quintet, The Maine. The July release of their debut album Can't Stop, Won't Stop launched them to #40 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and to the #6 position on the iTunes Top Album Chart during its release week. After The Maine played their first show in front of 600 original fans, the band's popularity only continues to rise, touring with the likes of Metro Station, Family Force 5 and Forever the Sickest Kids. The Maine has gone on to rock the 2008 Warped Tour and continues to amaze fans on The Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour with Boys Like Girls, Good Charlotte and Metro Station. www.myspace.com/themaine

Every Avenue: The pop[punk]-rock band Every Avenue has pushed themselves and their music to grow above the everyday pop sound with the release of their energetic [might we suggest the use of a better adjective next time?] album Shh.Just Go With It in early 2008. Their debut reached #21 on the Alternative New Artist Chart. Every Avenue has exploded with their twist on the pop-punk sound, licensing songs to MTV's "Real World" and "Two A Days". They have been touring with the likes of Plain White T's, All Time Low, Hit The Lights and blew away fans at Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left earlier this year. Every Avenue is currently heading across the nation on this summer's Warped Tour. Be sure to look for their hilarious new music video for "Where Were You" this fall. www.myspace.com/everyavenue
