PropertyOfZack Previews Skate and Surf With Artists’ Timelines

Some monumental bands from the early 2000s are performing at Skate and Surf this weekend. To commemorate these artists and all of their hard work over the years, our buds over at PropertyOfZack put together a timeline honoring each of their histories. Here’s what PropertyOfZack had to say:

Many of us reflect back on the early 2000’s as a true golden age for the music that we love the most – the term “emo” hadn’t yet been bastardized by the mainstream, Drive-Thru Records was putting out release after release of foundational pop-punk, and no one had really thought yet to

GameChanger World Launches App That Enhances This Year’s Skate And Surf Festival

Skate And Surf founder John D’Esposito has spent much of his time in the past few years working on an additional medium most of us overlook: the smartphone app. While a few years ago, after Nine Inch Nails launched their own, artists having their apps was all the rage, it seems now that applications on our smart phones have fallen by the wayside. John D has been working with his company, GameChanger World, to not only revitalize the idea, but to take it where it should’ve always been: exclusive content, some fun games, and – get this – actually helpful …

Skate And Surf Festival Changes Venues; Adds Mayday Parade To The Lineup

Skate And Surf Festival will be moving from Freehold, NJ to Jackson, NJ at Six Flags Great Adventure on May 18 and 19 due to overwhelming demand.

The move of venues was announced earlier this morning via press release, which also announced the addition of Floridian pop rockers Mayday Parade to the lineup. The change is said to be due to increased demand for tickets over previous, and with the likes of Fall Out Boy and Macklemore headlining it’s easy to understand why. You can read a statement from festival organizer John D. detailing the decision below:

IT’S TIME: Fall Out Boy Reunited

“This has been said so many times that I’m not sure if it matters…”

Oh, but it does. The time is finally here, friends. The princes of pop punk have returned in the wake of 4 years of rumor and speculation. Fall Out Boy are reunited, PropertyOfZack tells us. Believers never die.

After announcing a hiatus in 2009, the band members went their separate ways to form new projects and explore solo ventures. Controversy followed, rumor was spread on a bi-monthly basis, and ultimately shut down. Each time pushing the pin a little bit deeper into the …

Skate And Surf Announce 2013 Lineup, Headliners Include Glassjaw, A Day To Remember, Macklemore, And RX Bandits

I have to go to Skate And Surf this year. While several other bands hinted at their inclusion at the festival and a few had confirmed, an e-mail sent out to subscribers early this morning dropped a lot of big names. I wanted to go for Saves The Day and Glassjaw, but now you throw in the major names of A Day To Remember, Macklemore, and – my personal favorite – RX Bandits?

You can see the image with the lineup of all those we know so far after the jump (Andrew WK solo performance included). The …

RUMOR: Glassjaw To Play At Skate And Surf

Glassjaw has been awfully quiet lately, with no recordings since 2011′s Coloring Book. Lead vocalist Daryl Palumbo last did a show with one of his numerous projects in New York City on October 18 at Irving Plaza as Color Film. To our knowledge, Color Film is just Daryl and Richard Penzone of Men, Women & Children. They are supposed to have an album coming out in 2013.

That said, Absolute-Punk is reporting that one of their inside sources “hinted at a Glassjaw/Skate and Surf announcement and ticket bundle sale Christmas Day“. At least that lets …
