THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus make their Irish debut with shows in Belfast and Dublin this May as part of their forthcoming European tour. They will play on Wednesday 21 at Auntie Annies" Belfast and on Thursday 22 at the Hub in Temple Bar. Tickets for The Hub are priced "15 incl. booking fee and are available now at all usual Ticketmaster outlets.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus hail from Middleburg" Florida and are comprised of frontman Ronnie Winter" Elias Reidy" guitar/vocals" Duke Kitchens" guitar" Joey Westwood" bass" and Jon Wilkes" Drums.

Don"t You Fake It" their debut album" has to date sold over half a million copies in the U.S. The albums songs are flush with the determination" hunger and energy of youth. And while they tap into elements of pop"punk" pop" screamo" and metal" they combine them in a way thats both surprising and invigorating.

In addition to being musically adventurous" the band dont shy away from confessional" confrontational lyrics. The cantankerous Seventeen Aint So Sweet addresses a female friend who has an amazing voice but has been unable to make a dent in the music industry because she doesn"t look like a plastic pop idol" and the reflective" flowing Your Guardian Angel shows Winters letting down his guard and trying to express what it really feels like to be in love. But its Face Down" a scathing indictment of domestic abuse" which makes the most emotional impact.

Following a recent sold out U.S. Tour" Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have also been confirmed as the headliners of this summer"s Warped Tour.

Tickets for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus live at The Hub are priced "15 incl. booking fee and are on sale from all usual Ticketmaster outlets now.
