Vans Warped Tour '12: 2012 Tour Compilation in Bloomington, MN

Just as every sunrise brings a new day, so does every summer bring a new Warped Tour. Giving fans a preview of the punk festival's 2012 lineup,
Vans Warped Tour '12: 2012 Tour Compilation
gives a bird's-eye view of what the tour has to offer with two discs and 50 tracks of summertime goodness. With so many tracks, the collection features a wide array of genres and artists, ranging from straight-ahead punk via
Anti-Flag
and
Rise Against
to the unpredictable metalcore of
Iwrestledabearonce
and even the plaintive, rootsy sound of
Chuck Ragan
. Like the tour compilations that came before,
2012 Tour Compilation
acts not only as a preview of the tour, but also as a snapshot of the trends currently raging through mainstream punk. ~ Gregory Heaney
