Crossover? Schon längst ist der eigentliche Ur-Punk in eine Menge Variationen ausgefranst. Anstelle der ursprünglichen simplen Akkordfolgen haben sich auch die einst verpönte Melodik und der Pop in das Genre geschmuggelt. Eine der Bands, die diesen Crossover mögen ist die 2003 gegründete Formation A Day To Remember aus dem us-amerikanischen Ocala in Florida. Die 5 köpfige Band besteht seit 2003 und hat nach mehreren personellen Umbesetzungen einige Top Alben veröffentlicht. Gespannt warten wir nun auf den nächsten Streich: "Bad Vibrations" - 19. August.

 

A Day To Remember- live ein Hammer !

 

Hier der akltuelle Pressrelease:

 

A Day To Remember will be touring in support of their much-anticipated new album Bad Vibrations, which will be released this summer. Vocalist Jeremy McKinnon, guitarists Kevin Skaff and Neil Westfall, bassist Joshua Woodard and drummer Alex Shelnutt recorded Bad Vibrations with producers Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) and Jason Livermore (Rise Against, NOFX). Released on the band’s own ADTR Records and distributed by Epitaph, the album was mixed by Grammy winner Andy Wallace (Foo Fighters, Slayer) and is the follow-up to 2013’s Common Courtesy.



The band recently launched a video for the title song “Bad Vibrations”. You can watch it HERE. The song/video followed the release of lead single/video “Paranoia,” which premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio Show and has gone on to amass more than 4.4 million Spotify streams and 3.6 million YouTube views – click HERE to watch. Fans can get “Bad Vibrations” and “Paranoia” as instant downloads by clicking smarturl.it/badvibrations to pre-order Bad Vibrations on iTunes. Pre-order bundles are also available on the band’s official site or at smarturl.it/adtr-preorder.



Last month, A Day To Remember won a Kerrang! Award for the Best International Band, and performed live at the award ceremony in London. That same week they performed live as part of the BBC Radio 1 Rock All Dayer.  You can watch their BBC Performance HERE.



On July 18th, A Day To Remember will headline the 2016 Journeys Alternative Press Awards fueled by Monster Energy at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH.  This Summer they will hit the road in the US with Blink-182 for a tour of arenas and sheds set to kick off July 21 at Viejas Arena in San Diego, CA.



Over the course of the past several years, each of A Day To Remember’s releases have hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock, Indie and/or Alternative Charts, they’ve sold more than a million units, racked up over 400 million Spotify streams and 500 million YouTube views, garnered two gold-selling albums and singles (and one silver album in the UK) and sold out entire continental tours, amassing a global fanbase whose members number in the millions. All of which explains why Rolling Stone called them “An Artist You Need To Know.”
