Although platinum-plus Florida modern rock quartet THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS chose the title of their second Virgin Records album, LONELY ROAD, with family and friends at home in mind, the band has gathered a loyal worldwide group of fellow travelers in the last two years. Those fans enthusiasm in the albums week of release has resulted in a No. 14 debut in national Billboard Top 200 album sales and a No. 1 Alternative digital album, making this their highest sales chart position ever.
Prior to the February 3rd release of LONELY ROAD, the lead-off single You Better Pray had proven itself a national hit in both the Alternative and Active Rock radio formats, with wide video exposure through FUSE, Music Choice, MTVu and MTV2, which premiered their video all day long on Unleashed. This week, RJA will appear on ABCs late-night Jimmy Kimmel Live on Feb. 11th, performing a new single, Pen and Paper, which was originally given away as an MP3 at Christmas to fans on the bands MySpace page. The singles overwhelming demand turned into a sales phenomenon and has since added to their over 41 million plays on Myspace (Face Down over 20 million and Your Guardian Angel reaching over 18 million). Historically, RJAs known for their dedicated and fanatical followers, which resulted in selling more than 2.1 million singles from their debut album DONT YOU FAKE IT.
The new album, produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Daughtry, Less Than Jake, Hoobastank, P.O.D., All-American Rejects, Seether).
And, true to RJAs enduring hits Face Down and Your Guardian Angel, the hallmark of LONELY ROADs lyrics are the bands incisive and truthful observations about true-to-life encounters and relationships in settings of family (Lonely Road), the battleground and its aftermath (Godspeed, Pleads and Postcards), and the hometowns everyone will recognize.
RJAs Virgin Records debut, DONT YOU FAKE IT, debuted in August 2006 at No. 25 on the Billboard Top 200, and ended its 62-week album chart run in October 2007.
