If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to walk a day in rock star shoes, the folks at Alternative Press have you covered. As part of their "Warped Speed" Vans Warped Tour coverage, the magazine gave us less-famous folk a look at just that, following around Grapevine's Own hook-heavy alt-rock hombre Bryce Avary, the brains behind The Rocket Summer, during a recent Warped Tour spot, and snapping several photos along the way.

Avary dropped his sixth album, Of Men And Angels, early this year and, judging by photographed lot of screaming fans (including a woman who even got a tattoo in homage), his substantial fan base is in no danger of dwindling. Spend a day in his shoes right here.
