Face it, every once in a while you like to get a little post-punk. Hell, maybe you even occasionally need to sing an emo-ballad if only to your steering wheel. Luckily for you there is a time and place for you and it's The Vans Warped Tour.

Warped Tour hits Cricket Wireless Pavilion today at noon. Before you strap on your skater shoes and become one of the sweaty masses, take this opportunity to listen to a few of the bands playing tomorrow.

Between the Trees

Check out 90 seconds of Between the Trees' "The Way She Feels."

Forever the Sickest Kids

Also bringing you a mere 90 seconds of audio joy, here's Forever the Sickest Kids with "Whoaoh."

3OH!3 Electronic duo 3OH!3 brings you a track with trace amounts of Mindless Self Indulgence influence in "Punk Bitch."

Beat Union "Pressure Zone" by Beat Union is just the sort of working world anthem to get all those recent grads jumping up and down today.

Pierce the Veil It'll take you a nanosecond to realize "Yeah Boy and Doll Face" by Pierce the Veil is an epic Screamo track. Strained vocals or not, this track kicks some serious ass.

The Color Fred "If I Surrender" is The Color Fred's stab at awkward love song. If you surrender to this song you may find that you like it.
