Get Scared bring the high energy rock to this year’s Warped Tour

July 8, 2014

Vans Warped Tour this year is filled with so many great bands. There is one that I want to make sure you know about and that is Get Scared. These high energy rockers are bringing the adrenaline to the stage and capturing everyone’s attention. I remember the first time we saw them was a couple years back when they opened for Escape The Fate. We knew then, that they had what it takes to be in the spotlight and to see them shine at Warped Tour is no surprise. Their determination and hard work are paying off and their straight up rock n roll style has them gaining fans all along the tour. They are truly one of this year’s highlights. Get Scared is: Nicholas Matthews – Lead Vocals Johnny “Johnny B” Braddock – Lead Guitar Adam Virostko – Guitar Bradley “Lloyd” Iverson – Bass Guitar Dan Juarez – Drums One of the highlights of their set is when they perform their big hit, Badly Broken and their cover of My Own Worst Enemy by Lit.
