    After bursting onto the alternative scene with the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs, Hellogoodbye became a mainstay of US indie-rock.

    Kline said: “We're totally giddy to be invited over to Slam Dunk this year.

    “The line-up is insane, so many friends and lovers in one spot, it'll be a completely gratuitous smile fest.”

    Touche Amore’s signature mix of perfectly discordant post-hardcore and intelligently raw screamo has earned the Los Angeles group legions of devoted fans.

    The quintet’s ability to balance sincerity and disorder on a knife edge is as captivating live as it is on record, making their riotous performance at Slam Dunk Festival not one to be missed this summer.
