Third Eye Blind & Alexis Krauss (Sleigh Bells) Share Live Version of “Losing a Whole Year / Screamer,” Neutralizing Carbon on 2022 Tour

Fast and loud, hot and sticky – this high-energy, five-band collective offered Orlando rock fans one last gasp of summer glory.

Now in its 18th year, Warped Tour still manages to give Jen Cray and the rest of Orlando’s fans a beautiful day of sweat-soaked awesomeness.

The reigning queen of MySpace wowed his faithful Orlando flock with a short but sweet performance, yet Chris Long can’t help but wonder if Jeffree Star is more style than substance.

Angels & Airwaves soared into Orlando recently, with a slew of young bands in tow. Jen Cray gave them a shot, but was not quite convinced.

O-Rock 105.9 may have really dropped the ball on this year’s annual No Snow Show by splitting it into two separate shows, but at least they scored Jimmy Eat World and Silverchair to co-headline the second night of the event. Jen Cray was amongst the masses at Orlando’s House of Blues trying to convince themselves that the pair was enough to justify the pricey ticket.

With the absence of rap groups from this year’s lineup, and the addition of a stellar Saosin, this year’s Projekt Revolution tour is the best it has ever been – which isn’t saying much. Mark Fredrickson endured 11 long hours of annoying parents, smelly kids and groups like My Chemical Romance and Mindless Self Indulgence so you don’t have to.

The annual O-Rock 105.9 No Snow Show had AFI in top billing with heavy support by Taking Back Sunday , Angels & Airwaves , Buckcherry , Sugarcult , Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Kill Hannah. Reporting deep inside the very _un_winter weather was Jen Cray.
