Another handful of acts playing Vans Warped Tour 2012 has just been announced and IWRESTLEDABEARONCE will be on the full tour from June 16 - August 6. "After how much fun we had in 2010, we're beyond stoked to head out on Warped again!" says guitarist Steven Bradley. "Warped crowds are amazing and doing signings every day and meeting everybody rules. Cannot wait!" IWRESTLEDABEARONCE will join CHELSEA GRIN, MEMPHIS MAY FIRE, SENSES FAIL, SLEEPING WITH SIRENS and a number of other artists that will be revealed shortly. Pre-sale tickets for the tour will be available on April 6, 2012. Fans should check www.vanswarpedtour.com for line up announcements and other updates.

Prior to the Vans Warped Tour dates, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE will be heading out with Molotov Solution, Glass Cloud and The Greenery for the "Road To Metal Fest" tour leading up to and following their appearance on the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival on April 21.

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE recently released their sophomore album, Ruining It For Everybody which debuted at #75 on the Top 200 Billboard Charts. Highlighting both chilling screams and soothing melodies from vocalist Krysta Cameron, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE has mastered the combination of heavy music and glitch electronics. As put by Crave Online, "Iwrestledabearonce have created a shimmering piece of artistic genius." The music video for the track "You Know That Ain't Them Dogs' Real Voices" can be seen here.

I was never really into how extremely random iwrestledabearonce are when it comes to their sound. I can totally see the mad chops these guys have, but nothing ever really grabbed my ear to the level that I'd say, I gotta play that one song by iwrestledabearonce right now, that one part is stuck in my head.

The band released a new video for the song "Danger in The Manger" from their 2009 debut album "It's All Happening" and what caught my attention was the epic puppy totally pwning a keyboard @2:13.
