On My Honor & Latin For Truth on tour this summer
Latin For Truth is a four piece southern post-punk band scattered between Scottsboro, AL and Atlanta, GA. The band has released four ep’s and one full length, Eleven Eleven, since their start in 2005, the most recent being a digital ep, Diatribe or Die!, on Mightier Than Sword Records. They play a style of melodic punk rock that often sways into the realm of melodic hardcore, mostly due to the abrasive arrangement of vocals and socially conscious lyrics. Their dual-vocalist approach, duties shared by Charles Hastings and Tom Lovejoy, has raised many comparisons to bands like Set Your Goals and Four Year Strong, but with a heavier emphasis on ethics and social consciousness, it would be more appropriate for comparisons like Latterman, Propagandhi, and early Youth Crew bands. Later this summer Latin For Truth plans to release their follow up to Diatribe of Die!, a ten song full length record entitled Youth Crew Blues.

On My Honor is a pop-punk band from Knoxville, TN. Since late 2007 they have done 11 U.S. tours (with 5 more planned for this year), played over 300 shows, built a draw of 400 plus in their hometown, logged iTunes and online sales on four (4) continents, and played Warped Tour in 2009. The band’s sound revolves around making positive music with an emphasis on personal lyrics, intricate guitars, and high energy songs. They are currently prepping to release their new E.P. “Nature & Nuture” and spend most of the rest of the year touring in support of it. www.facebook.com/onmyhonor
