The Rocket Summer playing at the House of Blues last September. (Jonathan Finley)

Apparently Alternative Press is all over Dallas right now. The Rocket Summer is on the current cover, and now the annual Alternative Press Tour is about to launch and the Big D is representing on the bill. The Rocket Summer is co-headlining the tour with All Time Low, and Forever The Sickest Kids are one of the three supporting acts (the other two are The Matches and Sonny). The tour comes to the House of Blues Sunday, March 16. Apparently, if you buy your $15 ticket to the show through the official tour Web site, you'll get a free subscription to the magazine. Decent deal.

Whether or not you're interested in hitting the show, there is a new FTSK song -- "Men in Black" -- up on the AP Tour site (mid way down on the left in a streaming player). Songs from the other bands are available there, too. -- Chelsea Ide
