August Burns Red

Part of the 2008 Vans Warped Tour

“August Burns Red is a metalcore band from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The band formed in March 2003 while the members were still in high school and soon began playing shows around Lancaster. The band name is derived from an incident regarding the relationship breakdown of a former member and his girlfriend. In 2004, the band was signed to CI Records and released an EP called Looks Fragile After All. After about another year of playing shows, the band was signed to Solid State Records in 2005 and released Thrill Seeker on November 8 of that year. Their latest album, Messengers, was released on June 19, 2007. It has sold over 45,000 copies thus far. The band cites Between the Buried and Me, Misery Signals and Hopesfall as their main influences.

From April to May 2008, August Burns Red toured with As I Lay Dying and Misery Signals.”
