The Victory Records Tour kicked off last night in Baltimore, MD, but that's just the begging of this multi-band trek that will be covering most of the US over the next month and a half or so. Bayside is headlining the tour, which also features The Sleeping, A Day To Remember, Driver Side Impact, and June.



If you have tickets -- or are thinking about getting some -- here's a preview of what is to come from these diverse and kick-ass bands.

As the band was en route to the first show of the Victory Tour, I got to talk with Driver Side Impact's bassist, Teddy, about the trials and tribulations of the road, hygiene, and the ridiculous amount of theft the band has contended with this year, as well as carrying on after their keyboardist quit.



The band is currently on tour with Bayside, A Day To Remember, The Sleeping, and June.

The full schedule for the autumn Victory tour has been revealed, along with a way to get discounted tickets and some exclusive Bayside merchandise. The tour kicks off October 25th in Baltimore, MD.

The band has announced today that their keyboardist/backing vocalist, Austin Bishop is leaving the band to pursue Oxford University on scholarship. The band will not be replacing him, but will be carrying on, using a sampler named Austin. Cute.

The band is going to be busy this autumn, touring like crazy on the Victory Tour headlined by Bayside, but they've also added some September dates, as well.

The shows kick off on October 28th in Virginia. Bayside will headline, and the other bands on the tour will be A Day to Remember, June, The Sleeping, and Driver Side Impact.

This band from Cleveland, Ohio, not only rocks, but has managed to have some very interesting "facts" about them pop up on various Internet sites. Behold...

Including a homecoming show tonight and an August CD release show for their album that came out last month. There's something charming about that... I love these guys.

The band made a video for "The Heist" and it's available now. It's a cool video, and I'm looking forward to these guys getting more exposure/ending up on TV. They're a great band and really nice guys, so check it out.
