Nonpoint leads 'Most Wanted' trek
Nu-metal rockers Nonpoint are gearing up to headline "The Most Wanted" tour, which has expanded to 30 dates across the US.
The trek, sponsored by Cage Rattle Radio, also features Los Angeles rockers The Exies , as well as up-and-comers Deepfield and Under the Flood. The groups are set to kick things off tomorrow (5/10) in Houston and visit clubs and theaters from coast to coast through late June. Nonpoint will also venture outside the tour to play a May 27 show in Lexington, KY, and a June 26 gig at Milwaukee's Summerfest. The band's full itinerary is listed below.
Nonpoint has been out supporting its sixth album, "Vengeance," which surfaced last fall and reached No. 15 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart. So far, the set has spawned the mainstream rock hit "March of War," which is the Florida-based quartet's fastest-rising single to date. That song and the track "Wake Up World" are streaming at Nonpoint's MySpace page.
The band's latest set follows 2005's "To The Pain," which features the singles "Bullet With a Name" and "Alive and Kicking." Nonpoint followed that with the 2006 CD/DVD "Live and Kicking," which captures a live performance at a south Florida venue and includes two videos and documentary footage.
That same year, the hard-rockers reached a broader audience when their 2004 cover of Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" was featured in the motion-picture version of "Miami Vice."
