WORDUP



"Usually I would pass even reading the music blogs that are all Independent Music!!! But this one was actually good because it did not seem like you had to be a scenester knowing the secret handshake to be allowed to read it. They have a good collection of artists from all over the map which is always what I like to see and they have this funny ad running on there site to bring (+44) to Singapore."

Hangar 18 Gets Ready for Warped Tour

Hip-hop duo Hangar 18 is hitting the road once again with Warped Tour as part of their cross-country extravaganza, holding it down the entire summer as one of the few hip-hop acts among bands like the Bouncing Souls, Rise Against, Cobra Starship, and Be Your Own Pet.

The group is used to all the traveling: they've played as many as 200 dates in the past few years and shared the stage with everyone from Big Daddy Kane to Madina Lake to Mos Def to El-P, and it's live where they're at their best and most comfortable. With two records under their belts, including last year's Sweep the Leg out on Def Jux — a label that without doubt knows good music — Hangar 18 has plenty to show off, including the crowd-rousing "Baking Soda" and the quick, energetic "Really Wide." The tour's a monster, which means plenty of opportunities to see them and hear what all the fuss is about.

As a teaser, here's a video of Hangar 18 live at the Third Railperforming "Baking Soda":
