Reverse Dashboard Confessional, anyone? The punk-gone-acoustic Where's The Band? Tour, next winter, features solo acoustic performances by the frontmen of four punk/emo groups: Dustin Kensue (of Thrice), Matt Pryor (of The Get Up Kids), Chris Conley (of Saves The Day) and Anthony Raneri (of Bayside).

Tickets go on sale Nov. 21.
