I kicked off my day catching The Word Alive, a metalcore band from Phoenix. The band definitely set a high point, getting the crowd amped up for a long day of great music. Next up was Warped Tour vets Yellowcard. Earlier this year Yellowcard announced their final album and farewell tour for later this year. It's hard to see a band that has been in this scene for as long as they have coming to an end, so it was great to have the opportunity to catch them at Warped before the final tour.
I headed over to catch Australian rockers Tonight Alive for the first time. Great stage presence, and singer Jenna McDougall has a killer voice. The highlight of the set was the crowd picking up a girl seated in a wheelchair and held her over their heads so she could sing right along with McDougall, it's always special to see people come together to make something beautiful happen.
