Bullet For My Valentine has been confirmed as the headlining act for the fifth annual hardDrive Live "Five" tour, which will also feature Halestorm and Young Guns as part of the lineup. The trek is sponsored by the nationally syndicated weekly Active Rock radio program hardDrive. Dates and venues will be announced next week. Bullet For My Valentine's Matt Tuck spoke with us about doing the tour with Halestorm: "Yeah, it's good, you know. We love the Halestorm guys, they're a great band and we've toured with them a bit in the States before, they did a support slot with us, I think about two years ago here in the States, so there's a relationship there, you know what I mean? And yeah, I think people are buzzing on it, you know. I think all the comments that we get online, on our social media and stuff, you know, people are super-psyched that, you know, Halestorm are the support act. So it's a good vibe."

• Bullet For My Valentine is getting ready to release its fourth album, Temper Temper, on February 12th. The Welsh act has just issued a video for the first official single, "Riot."
• Halestorm continues to hit the trail in support of its second album, last year's The Strange Case Of . . . . The latest single from the disc is "Freak Like Me." Halestorm is also up for a Grammy in the category of Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for the album's first single, "Love Bites (So Do I)."
• Young Guns is a new British act that has already been acclaimed in its homeland for "Bones," the first single from its self-titled debut album. The track is currently Number 12 on the Active Rock radio chart.
