LOS ANGELES, May 27 -- Fashion and lifestyle brand No Fear
has teamed up once again with Live Nation, the world's largest live music
company, to utilize the company's unparalleled national network of House of
Blues and other club-sized music venues to stage a nationwide club tour
with some of hard rock's hottest bands. This year's No Fear Music Tour
features Welsh hardcore-metal rockers Bullet For My Valentine and Orange
County aggro-death-core sextet Bleeding Through to clubs and theaters
across the country this summer, along with Cancer Bats and Black Tide on
select dates. The first leg of the tour features 23 dates kicking off July

dates in September to be announced soon. Tickets go on sale beginning May

"Last year we partnered up with House of Blues/Live Nation for our
inaugural No Fear Music Tour. No Fear couldn't be more pleased with the fan
support and its over all success. We are looking forward to reaching out to
our fans once again with this year's No Fear Music Tour," says Britt
Galland, Vice President of Marketing for No Fear.
"We are thrilled to be working with No Fear again this year to utilize
our unparalleled national network of clubs to bring the best emerging acts
in hard rock to fans around the country," said Live Nation's Kelly Kapp,
Vice President of Theater and Club Programming. "All of the bands on this
bill are helping to define today's metal scene. This tour is not to be
missed."
Bullet For My Valentine was named Kerrang's "Best British Newcomer" in
2005, won Metal Hammer's "Golden God Award in 2006, and graced the cover of
Revolver magazine's March 2008 issue, "The Future of Metal." The band's
debut album "The Poison," sold more than one-million copies worldwide and
over 400,000 copies in the U.S. alone. In support of the band's sophomore
release "Scream Aim Fire," released this past January, Bullet co-headlined
the Taste of Chaos tour earlier this year.
Having been dubbed an "Artist To Watch" by Spin magazine, Bleeding
Through was branded "The Future Of Metal" by Revolver magazine. Meanwhile
the band has journeyed from Ozzfest 2004 and MTV2's third annual
"Headbanger's Ball: The Tour" to a headlining run on the 2005's "Strhess
Tour," as well as a spot on the world famous Warped Tour. Now the Orange
County natives are gearing up for their only North American dates of 2008
and what promises to be one heaviest tours of the summer.
Cancer Bats are fresh off their latest worldwide release, Hail
Destroyer, and a European tour and will be joining the tour in support for
all July and August dates. Picking up where Cancer Bats left off is the
much buzzed about youth of Black Tide, the Miami teens who have caught the
eye of hard rock fans everywhere with their unique style of throw back
black metal reminiscent of Black Sabbath and Dio, taking the supporting
slot in August.
