The Sword

"I always saw the Sword as being able to basically do anything."

John D. Cronise of The Sword speaks with Full Metal Jackie about the band's reunion, the Warp Riders album and the era of the band that he reflects most fondly upon.

Mammoth, Papa Roach and Halestorm are among the big tour announcements, while Ohana Fest also revealed their 2025 lineup this past week.

Baroness, The Black Keys and a Rilo Kiley reunion head up this week's tour announcements, while the Bourbon & Beyond festival has been revealed for 2025.

It was a light batch of new tours in a holiday week, but there's still some interesting shows, residencies and a significant festival announced this past week.

See what John D. Cronise had to say.

Two tours, five bands, all clutch.

10 years of rock and metal excellence.

With Wolfmother and The Sword.
