“So much news to share. On July 22nd, 2003 our lives were changed forever. We didn’t know that day what Ocean Avenue would become, but it is a chapter in our story that we will never forget. We knew that for the 10th anniversary of the release we wanted to do something more than just a tour.
Over the last few months we have been re-imagining all 13 songs in an acoustic setting. The release will be called simply, “Ocean Avenue Acoustic”. Some of the songs have a whole new life, while others are acoustic renditions of the originals. We are so excited for you to hear what we’ve done. The record will be released worldwide August 13th on Hopeless Records.
Following the release we have some amazing touring planned. We will be bringing Ocean Avenue Acoustic, the Tour to the US, Europe, and Australia. In the US and Australia we will be performing the entire record acoustically from start to finish, and then closing the show with an electric set that covers the other albums. In Europe we will be playing the Vans Warped Tour, so the headlining shows will just be Ocean Avenue Acoustic. To hear the other records you’ll have to get to the closest Warped date!
It’s going to be a big year for all of us and you together. Ocean Avenue is a legacy that we are very proud of, so both the album and the tour are things we’ve put a lot of work into. Thanks for your continued love and support, and we will see you this Fall!
