You know what they say – all roads lead to Metal Fest. Birmingham-based metal band Iwrestledabearonce have announced a tour bookending their appearance at April 21st’s New England Metal and Hardcore Fest and preceding their appearances on Warped Tour.

The band is also confirmed to be playing the entirety of Warped Tour (6/16 – 8/6). Full dates for both tours below. “After how much fun we had in 2010, we’re beyond stoked to head out on Warped again,” guitarist Steven Bradley said.
Originally formed in Louisiana, Iwrestledabearonce has put out two albums. The most recent is Ruining it for Everybody, released this past year. The band’s sound, though clearly metal, enjoys a diversity that’s lent some to categorize it as avant-garde or progressive metal.
