# WithoutSpaces > WithoutSpaces is a pop-punk, post-hardcore, and alternative rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. After a decade-long hiatus, the band is competing in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 2026 for a main stage performance slot at Vans Warped Tour Long Beach (July 26, 2026). Released independently through Sand Castle Studios. WithoutSpaces blends the emotional honesty of early 2000s punk with modern post-hardcore intensity. Their songs — Hold Please, Miracle, and Castles — were built in garages, refined in studios, and road-tested at house shows across California. The band is competing for a record deal opportunity with EDGEOUT Records / Universal Music Group through the Battle of the Bands competition. ## Key Links - [Official Website & Merch](https://withoutspaces.band): Band merch store and official home - [Battle of the Bands Profile](https://www.battleofthebands.com/profile/WithoutSpaces): Vote for WithoutSpaces in the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 2026 - [Vote Landing Page](https://vote.withoutspaces.band): One-click daily voting page for Warped Tour 2026 - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/withoutspaces): @withoutspaces — photos, reels, and show updates - [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@withoutspacesband): @withoutspacesband — music clips and behind-the-scenes ## Quick Facts - Genre: Pop-Punk, Post-Hardcore, Alternative Rock - Location: San Francisco Bay Area, CA - Label: Sand Castle Studios (independent) - Songs: Hold Please, Miracle, Castles - Competition: Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 2026, Long Beach CA, Sunday July 26 - Prize: Main stage at Vans Warped Tour + EDGEOUT Records / UMG deal opportunity - Voting: Open daily until May 1, 2026 at battleofthebands.com ## Optional - [Warped Tour Long Beach](https://www.vanswarpedtourlongbeach.com/): Official Vans Warped Tour Long Beach 2026 site - [Battle of the Bands](https://www.battleofthebands.com/campaign/ernieballvanswarpedtour2026): Full Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands 2026 campaign
