Dates for Hinder, Papa Roach and Buckcherry surfacing

Dates are starting to surface for the Bad Boys of Rock tour, which will feature Hinder, Papa Roach and Buckcherry. According to LiveDaily.com, the first confirmed gig is July 13th in East Lansing, Michigan, with shows stretching into mid-September. Most of the shows so far are slated for county fairs, with more to be announced in the weeks ahead. Papa Roach singer Jacoby Shaddix told us that he's looking forward to touring with Hinder again after their recent shows together: "It's funny 'cause they just remind me of a lot like us, when we were first, like, in the game, you know what I'm saying? And really cool guys too, like, totally pleasantly surprised. Like, I was just like, you know, 'Thanks for taking us out on this tour,' and they're like, 'No, dude, it's a total honor to have you guys out,' and I'm like, 'Wow.'"

Hinder and Papa Roach are just wrapping up the Door to Dorm college campus tour. Both groups play this Sunday (May 6th) at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis.

Hinder is remaking the Steppenwolf classic "Born To Be Wild" for the TNT network's 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series coverage. The song will serve as the primary musical theme for all six of TNT's races, with a video of the song debuting at NASCAR.com on June 6th.

Buckcherry recently played its 200th show in support of its 2006 comeback album, 15, and plays on Thursday (May 3rd) in Pensacola Beach, Florida.
