From Dave Mackinder:

Dave from Fireworks here! Its my turn to share what’s going on in the world of Clash Battle Guilt Pride tour. Sadly, this will be the final installment in our tour blog as we have now entered the final days of this amazing tour. 

Currently, we are riding dirty to Pittsburgh listening to 2*Pac and sipping on some Iced coffee, standard Fireworks activity. We also have had some new homies on board since the last update. Such as a special cameo appearance from the anti-prude himself Steve Wojick. Steve is king of the enchanted Michigan Village, Plymouthtopia. Steve has a lot of henna tattoos and likes to work out in public. Follow him on twitter (@stevewoahdick), he will impregnate you with his banter, I mean, make you laugh. 

We also lost our personal jesus, Baloni. Baloni is usually found at our shows slinging t shirts, finding serious deals, watching internet cat sensation videos and overall running the show. Set Your Goals has decided to steal him from us, because they really needed a 3rd singer, ha ha, not really. Baloni will be selling their stuff on the Pop Punk’s Not Dead tour, if you are going, tip that dude, he works hard and deserves a bottle of mexican coke.

From Brett Jones:

After hitting an invisible rock, breaking one of the axels on our trailer, Baloni and Steve are nestled up in the Hill Top Inn in Redding awaiting it’s repair.  Kyle, Adam and Dave had the pleasure of riding with PBC from Redding to Portland, while Tymm, Chris and I are riding with Balance.

From Chris Mojan:

So we are already about 3 weeks into the, “Clash, Battle, Guilt, Pride” tour. I am laying on my friend Matt Stawski’s couch in West Hollywood wondering how I’m going to be able to sing at all when we get to Hurley in 2 hours for our studio session. I feel like my throat is closing. All the bands on tour have talked and decided that we might just all rent a house out here and try to “make it”. Maybe host a few industry parties and really show them what we’re made of. 

Another thing looming in my mind is the fact that Make Do And Mend’s last show with the tour is tomorrow at Chain Reaction. I think almost every tour we’ve done this year has been with MDAM. Saying this tour has gone by fast is an understatement. With every one being so close, time just flies.

Fireworks are currently out on tour with Polar Bear Club, Balance & Composure, and Made Do And Mend in support of their new album, Gospel, which is in stores now! Kyle O’Neil from the band will be sending in Road Blogs to PropertyOfZack to keep up on the tour. Make sure to check back every week to catch up on all the antics!

From Kyle O’Neil:

Hello! Kyle here. Today i’m writing to you from Austin, Texas, The home of a whole lot of bats.  We are about thirteen days in to Clash Battle Guilt Pride tour with Make Do and Mend, Balance and Composure, and  Polar Bear Club. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better tour. Its a tour of nothing but friends and happiness and sometimes laughter. 

Anyways, we’ve only been here in Texas for about 2 hours as we drove all night from Pensacola, Florida.  Which ended up to be a wonderful place to spend our Day off.  We ended up splitting a hotel room with Balance and Composure right on the beach. We spent most of the day pool hopping, eating, beaching and rummaging through a junk yard looking for a new spare tire to replace the one that was stolen from off our van. All in all it was a pretty bitchin day off. I ended it with Birthday Cake ice cream.
