Norma Jean will headline the Radio Rebellion tour, which also includes Between The Buried and Me, Fear Before the March of Flames, Misery Signals and revolving openers The Fully Down and The Confession.

Showcasing cutting-edge artists who’ve built their following without the help of commercial radio, the Radio Rebellion tour “signifies the shift in how today’s youth discovers and identifies new music and lifestyle trends through the media and the Internet. “

The inaugural eight-week trek will visit 45 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada between October 6 and December 2. The confirmed itinerary is expected to be announced soon andtickets will first be available via an Internet pre-sale beginning August 15 at www.musictoday.com.

“The idea behind Radio Rebellion is simple. We created a tour that showcases artists who’ve achieved some solid commercial success without the traditional drivers of commercial radio,” says Graham Day, founder of Smartpunk.com one of the tour’s partner/sponsors.

“Some of the Radio Rebellion artists have now sold a few hundred thousand records without having a single spin on commercial radio,” he said. “We’ve witnessed first-hand the power of this new breed of artist as well as their tight connection with their very active fan-base and now we’re offering these bands that fans want to see in an intimate and ideal environment.”

Norma Jean lead vocalist Cory Brando agreed. “The truth is, I think radio should conform to what bands like us are doing, instead of us conforming to what they’re currently playing just to get on the radio,” Brando said.

“It doesn’t and shouldn’t work like that in music. We’re making headway without their support and we’re not at all against the idea of heavier bands having radio play, but this doesn’t and won’t change what we are doing artistically whatsoever.”
