Speaking on the idea for the tour Royal Fam President Cliff Wiener said “We have a great love of independent music and as an independent clothing line there is a natural fit between the DIY mentality of the bands and the brand.We’re helping to get good bands music out there via the tour and our clothing.”

From First To Last have been a band for over a decade with album sales nearing the half million mark.The band will release their fifth studio album Throne To The Wolveson March 16, 2010, their first for Rise Records.The band released the following statement about the tour saying “It’s going to be a fun tour!Lots of new tunes will be shredded! Parties will be had and good times will reign supreme!”

Eyes Set To Kill 2008 debut album Reach (BreakSilence Recordings) quickly became one of the highest moving records at national chain Hot Topic and online retailer Smart Punk.com.The album landed at # 29 on Billboard’s HeatSeekers chart and #77 on the Billboard Independent Music Chart.The band’s sophomore release The World Outside was released in summer of 2009 and debuted at #9 on the Heatseekers Chart.The band has recently completed their own national headlining tour and have toured with the likes of LoveHateHero, Gwen Stacy and Drop Dead, Gorgeous.Front-woman Alexia Rodriguez had this to say about the tour “First we get news about being added to the Warped Tour this summer and now we’re headed out with From First To Last and a ton of other great bands! The Royal Family Tour is going to be an amazing time for all the bands and I’m sure by the end of the tour everyone will be like one big giant family.”

“Los Angeles’s Confide erupts a blend of screamo trying to be held back on the ankle by metalcore” (HM Magazine).The band re-released their debut Shout The Truth on Tragic Hero Records last year.The new edition saw the band re-recording all vocals and tacking on three new songs including a cover of The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights.”The band have a new album being released on May 2010 and vocalist Ross Kenyon said of the tour “This will be our first tour of 2010 and it’s right before our brand new album comes out. We couldn’t be happier with the line up of bands and we’re stoked to play some new songs on the tour.”

Coupled with Sid Vicious-meets-KISS like stage outfits and a abundance of fog, stage lights, and skeletal stage props, Black Veil Brides deliver a message of hope and strength wrapped up in all the theatrics and raw energy of an Alice Cooper show. Their first music video for the single Knives and Pens has reached a whopping 3.9 millions views in just over 6 months on youtube.com.The band will release their full-length on Standby Records this summer.Vocalist Andy Six said of the tour “I can remember when I was younger, seeing kids at school wearing From First To Last t-shirts and being so curious about who they were or what it was. I remember the first time I heard them I was blown away, it was something so different from what was going on at the time. The same could be said for a band like Eyes Set To Kill.It is truly a thrill for us to get to join these bands every night on the road. This tour will be taking us to places we have had yet to play, so we are very excited to see a new group of dedicated BVB fans every single night in their war paint, singing their hearts out!”

Recently signed to Rise Records, Sleeping With Sirens is the newest band to come out of central Florida. Their full-length entitled, Eyes to Hear, Ears to See due out sometime in March 2010 and the band is currently on tour with LoveHateHero.About the tour the band said “We are more than excited to take part of such a great tour. Opening up for bands that have proven themselves in such a great manner is something we feel very proud of. The bands on this tour put so much passion into their live show that each night is going to be something special.”
