Embarking on a month long tour jam-packed with high energy and incredibly talented acts, the boys in Yellowcard, Good Charlotte, and Runner Runner have proved that this summer tour is one that should not be missed. The tour began in San Diego, CA on Friday and makes its way to Florida with pit stops in several big cities throughout the month of June. Last night, the tour set out at the Fox Theater in Pomona, CA. With a line wrapped around the building nearly two hours before doors were set to open, it was clear that the lineup composed on this tour is one that many do not want to miss. Who can blame them, really? By combining two bands that brought music into the lives of many at an early age with a modern band that creates the perfect balance between the two, attending a show on this tour is guaranteed to be a night you will never forget. Though there are not many stops on the tour, the trek to the nearest location is definitely well worth the overwhelming gas prices and at times stand still traffic.
Pop-punk band All Time Low is currently on their Dirty Work Tour with Yellowcard, Hey Monday, and The Summer Set as support. The quartet has recently put together a new album tentatively named Dirty Work, which will be their fourth studio album release. The first single from Dirty Work, “I Feel Like Dancin’,” was released on April 5th. The ever-energetic Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Zach Merrick, and Rian Dawson show off their quirky talents on the enthusiastic Dirty Work Tour.
First to take the stage at the sold-out, 2,300 capacity venue in St. Louis, Missouri was The Summer Set. This relatively young band had a short but sweet set. Lead by front man Brian Dales, The Summer Set easily pleased the energetic crowd with a couple of new songs, as well as some fan favorites “Chelsea” and 
“Punk-Drunk Love.” Dales’ vocals were clear but slightly annoying. All of the band members were very encouraging of the audience and tried to interact with as many people as possible. It was impressive to hear loud screaming for the first opening band. There was a fair amount of fans there that bopped to the beat and sang along to every lyric. Overall The Summer Set was a crowd pleaser, and I am glad that they chose to tour on the Dirty Work Tour.
