But more importantly, this year’s summer campaign is all about uniting the tribes to foster a sense of community. We asked members of ASKING ALEXANDRIA, AUGUST BURNS RED, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA , GO RADIO, THE READY SET, THERE FOR TOMORROW, WE CAME AS ROMANS, THE WONDER YEARS, and others to share their stories about what makes them “Warped.” Because it ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at…
