August Burns Red is an American Christian metalcore band from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, U.S., and was formed in March 2003.
Formed of members Jon Hershey on lead vocals, JB Brubaker on lead guitar, Brent Rambler on rhythm guitar, Matt Greiner on drums and piano, and Jordan Tuscan on bass guitar, the band began practicing during high school in bassist Matt Greiner’s basement. After a number of local shows in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, U.S., area the band released their first EP named “Looks Fragile After All” on the label CI Records in 2004.
Soon after, lead singer Hershey quit and vocal responsibilities fell to Josh McManness and the band signed to the Christian label Solid State Records in 2005. On November 8, 2005 the band released their debut album “Thrill Seeker” along with a video for the single “Your Little Suburbia Is In Ruins”. The album’s release marked the departure of vocalist McManness and bassist Jordan Tuscan, who were replaced with Jake Luhrs and Dustin Davidson respectively.
Luhrs’ debut album with the band “Messengers” released in June 2007 became August Burns Red’s breakthrough album charting at No. 81 on the Billboard 200, and allowed the band an extensive tour schedule across North America and Europe. During which the band played alongside the likes of A Skylit Drive, Sky Eats Airplane and Greeley Estates. August Burns Red also appeared on the 2009 “Punk Goes Pop 2” compilation album covering Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time”.
The band’s sound is referred to commonly as metalcore, although due to the precise and powerful breakdowns, blissfully melodic guitar riffs have often been identified as melodic metalcore.
In 2009 the band released “Lost Messenger: The Outtakes” a multitude of material not thought appropriate for the “Messengers” album, as well as their third full-length LP “Constellations” which was available to stream via their MySpace before its release on July 14, 2009. The album charted at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 and led to a U.S. tour alongside Blessthefall and Enter Shikari and Australian tour with Parkway Drive and A Day to Remember.
August Burns Red’s fourth album “Leveller” continued and expanded on the commercial success of the band charting at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, only bettered by their fifth album “Rescue & Restore” which debuted at No. 9.
Read moreIsn’t it funny how so many Christian rock groups seem to do so much screaming and concern themselves so readily with dark lyrical themes that obsess over the spectre of death? August Burns Red, from Manheim, Pennsylvania, are another such outfit; sonically, they’re straight-up metalcore, and thematically, they share their outlook with Christian contemporaries like As I Lay Dying and The Devil Wears Prada. That hasn’t stopped them, though, from crossing over into the more mainstream side of the American punk and alternative scene, thanks in no small part to their appearances on the Warped tour last year, alongside the decidedly different likes of 3OH!3 and Bowling for Soup. They’ve a fervent cult following in the UK, too, with their most recent tour over here, back in February of this year, an extended run that took in sold-out rooms in the likes of Colchester and Portsmouth, as well as the usual big-city stops. On stage, proceedings are as you’d expect - a high-octane, no-frills affair, with frontman Jake Luhrs acting as a conduit for the crowd’s energy. Touring seems to be their bread and butter, so expect them back before long; they’re living proof that the metalcore trend has yet to die out.
I fell in love with ABR nearly ten years ago when I saw them open for Emery. Since then, I've absorbed album after album and dreamed of getting to see them again. When that opportunity came, though, I realized something: They've grown - and that might not lend itself to a better concert-going experience.
Don't get me wrong. The mic-swinging is still there. The guitar, vocals and drums are all on-point. They even opened the encore with a drum solo that MELTED MY FACE. But, their latest album (Phantom Anthem) has a lot of ... nuance. Subtlety. Stuff that gets lost with the volume is all the way up in your typical venue.
So, while I enjoyed the show and would see them again in a heartbeat, August Burns Red won't break into the upper echelon of concert experiences for me.
It was easily the best time I've seen them, and that's out of 8 times. The second night of the back to back Rex theatre shows was amazing, they played a plethora of songs, many of which rarely get played, they even played half the Christmas album. Jake Luhrs waited outside the door to leave to shake everyone's hands to thank them for coming. This is what the scene should be. 11/10 experience
As my first concert ever, it was a great experience and if you are into metalcore, its a must see event considering the price, GREAT SHOW! After the show I got to meet the lead vocalist of Miss May I and it was also his birthday! August Burns Red's intro was amazing with the beats going into White Washed, their encore was amazing too, they played Empire.
The Dangerous Tour was fantastic!!! I was absolutely blown away by the musicianship exhibited and the atmosphere of the concert. The mosh pit was awesome and every one was super respectful and helped up the ones that fell down. Great job guys!!! Hoping for many more tours to come!

Amazing and intimate show. The band played my fav album plus some other songs. Fenomenal performance. This band never disappoints live. The show started and finished on time as scheduled so everyone could return home with transport services.
The most insane show I've ever been to. All the bands killed it and each one had something unique to offer. Would definitely see them again. The venue was very good as well, as were the dudes at the merch booth. Very good experience
This was my 4th time to see them, and they have yet to let me down. I wasn't a fan of Good Tiger or BTBAM, but August Burns Red is my all time favorite band and put on one hell of a show! I think this was the best one I've seen yet!
Wow. Been trying to see these guys for years and finally managed to catch them in NYC. They did not disappoint. Electrifying performance and rowdy crowd. Definitely going to catch their next gig when they make their way back.
Amazing show!
I caught a setlist from Miss May I and a pick from August Burns Red! I also met part of Miss May I at the merch section.
It was overall a great experience and I look forward to seeing these bands again!
