What’s being talked about in the world of music? One thing is the Honda Civic Tour, and it’s coming to the Alfond Arena at the University of Maine in Orono on May 2nd this year. It’s featuring Panic At the Disco, The Hush Sound, Motion City Soundtrack, and Phantom Planet. For those who have only heard of the amazing concerts and shows put on by these bands will be able to see them all together on this night.
Panic At the Disco, previously known partially for the exclamation point after Panic (but for mostly their extremely original sound,) is the headlining band for this year’s tour. They are a fairly new band in the scheme of things, but their fan base and popularity has definitely grown a great amount in the past year. Founded via internet, their success and fame is something which up and coming bands strive for.
The Hush Sound is a band with a female lead vocalist, and a piano-based sound. The unique lyrics and humble ways of this band has kept the same fans listening over the years. The Hush Sound was originally named “The Hush,” but when they found that a rapper had the same name, they added “sound,” and it seems to fit perfectly.

they are one of the oldest bands in this tour (since 1977.) In Maine, it seems most of the people going to this show are excited about Motion City Soundtrack more than anything. “Even If It Kills Me,” their most recent album, has gained them new listeners and success, as it’s a very emotionally put together album.
Phantom Planet is the last band in the tour, but certainly deserves as much recognition as the other three. “California” is the song that got them widely recognized, as it became the theme song of the popular television show, The O.C.
This is a concert definitely worth showing up to. Seems it’s going to be a memorable event, and tickets are available online as well as various local music and book stores.
