(Epitaph, Los Angeles, CA) As the VANS WARPED TOUR prepares for another musically-charged summertime assault, EPITAPH will help lead the attack with a diverse array of talented bands!

The 2005 VANS WARPED TOUR roster will feature DROPKICK MURPHYS, MATCHBOOK ROMANCE, MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK, MILLENCOLIN, HORRORPOPS, THE MATCHES, FROM FIRST TO LAST, THE UNSEEN and LEFT ALONE!

Spearheading the Epitaph offensive will be Celtic-punks and VANS WARPED TOUR veterans, DROPKICK MURPHYS. Following the release of their new CD, The Warrior’s Code, these rowdy boys from Boston will be riding high and playing hard!

Continuing the Epitaph assault will be the hyper-energetic, ever-exciting, MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK! Boasting an incredible new CD, Commit This To Memory, this band make a huge mark for themselves by tireless touring and making passionate albums. This band’s set will clearly be one of the most anticipated performances of the entire tour.

Making their second appearance on the VANS WARPED TOUR will be the blazing hot MATCHBOOK ROMANCE! This foursome from Poughkeepsie, NY recently landed on the cover of ALTERNATIVE PRESS, and their debut album, Stories And Alibis, continues to be a fan favorite!

Rounding out the main course of action for EPITAPH will be Swedish pop-punk stalwarts MILLENCOLIN. Also riding the energy of a newly released album, Kingwood, MILLENCOLIN is sure to put on a striking live show consisting of new material and classics from one of the most popular catalogs in label history.

Other Epitaph bands appearing on the VANS WARPED TOUR are the modern waved lipstick garage-punksters HORRORPOPS, upstart pop-rockers THE MATCHES, dank hard rockers FROM FIRST TO LAST and gritty punk rock acts THE UNSEEN and LEFT ALONE!
