Cleveland-based youth-culture magazine Alternative Press recently announced MISS MAY I as the headliner for its annual fall tour, The AP Tour Fall 2012, sponsored by Petersaysdenim.

Presale purchasers will be given the first opportunity to buy a limited VIP package along with an exclusive add-on offer. With the purchase of a ticket and an additional $17, fans will receive a one-year subscription to AP and all three covers of The AP Tour Fall 2012 issue.

MISS MAY I's new album, "At Heart", sold 12,000 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 32 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was described by Revolver magazine as having "plenty of monster tracks, propulsive riffs, and searing breakdowns" (May/June 2012 issue). Released on June 12 via Rise Records, the effort was helmed by famed producer Machine (LAMB OF GOD, EVERY TIME I DIE, SUICIDE SILENCE).
