Last week it was Asking Alexandria, this week it’s A Day To Remember – this autumn really is packed to the guts with bands consolidating their status at the top of the Kerrangcore tree with some of the biggest tours they’ve ever mounted. ADTR are even big enough to bring Radio 1-playlist botherers, Lower Than Atlantis, along as their main support. We made sure our man in Brighton, Mike Burnell, was there to photograph the both of them.
Last night on BBC Radio 1 and Scuzz TV, Download Festival announced another seven bands for their 2013 line-up – Queens of the Stone Age, HIM, 30 Seconds To Mars, Mötorhead, The Gaslight Anthem, A Day To Remember, and Alice In Chains.

Let’s talk about progression. Even as recently as 2009, the American sextet had wacky song titles which bore no relation to the subject matter. The Devil Wears Prada may have been making some stunningly technical metalcore but they were a joke. It’s time to stop laughing.
Hardcore shows are meant to be in a grotty little room under a pub. Add a bit of pop-punk, however, and you get to the Brixton Academy. That’s what A Day To Remember have done, so we went down to see what all the fuss is about.

The first thing to note about Attack of the Killer B-sides is how lightweight it appears to be as a release. Of the four tracks here two are cover versions (both of which have appeared on previous releases) and another is just an acoustic version of a previously-released song. As a result there is only one song that fans of A Day To Remember probably haven’t already heard and you can’t help but wonder what value for money this represents as a purely musical proposition.
So what have all these bands got in common? They’ve all been “officially” announce for Donwload 2010? Hurrah! (Please remember to divide your excitement by how much you’ve been paying attention to the rumour mill). ETC ETC. What? You want the actual band names? Then you better check after the jump then, shouldn’t you?
Following the release of their third album, Homesick, Florida hardcore troupe hit the UK in this tour with Michigan metalcore crew For The Fallen Dreams and Scottish metallers Azriel.

“It’s not easy making a name for yourself.” So states the opening line of ‘The Downfall Of Us All’, the first song on A Day To Remember’s second album. Of course, it helps a little if you record a rocked-up version of a massively popular song (in their case, Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since U Been Gone’) and inject it into general public’s consciousness.
Floridian pop-punk-meets-post-hardcore quintet A Day To Remember have just released the brilliant video to their even more brilliant cover of Kelly Clarkson‘s ‘Since U Been Gone’.
We dare you not to laugh. And sing along. Check this out.
