FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 29, 2007 - New York, NY - Sire recording artists, Armor for Sleep, announce a co-headlining tour with Saosin starting January 2008 to promote their new release, Smile For Them-- the band’s third studio album and their major-label debut. A full list of tour dates will be released soon, but expect this tour to hit every major market in the US.
Smile for Them has already been building a buzz around Armor for Sleep. The video for the band’s first single, Williamsburg, premiered on MTV’s TRL last month and can be seen on MTV2, MTVU, and MTV.com.
According to Alternative Press Magazine, who awarded the album four stars, Armor has created “sprawling slow-burners” and “infectious anthems,” backed by “sophisticated guitar-rock epics.” The New Jersey-based quartet, which is comprised of members Ben Jorgensen (Vocals/Guitar), PJ DeCicco (Guitar), Anthony Dilonno (Bass), and Nash Breen (Drums), joined forces with renowned producer Machine (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Cobra Starship) at Machine Shop in Weehawken, NJ, for Smile For Them and have played shows with the likes of Against Me!, Taking Back Sunday, All-American Rejects and Underoath.
Armor For Sleep stopped by NBC Ch. 4's studio in DC last week during their current tour with Academy Is to perform an exclusive, acoustic performance of WILLIAMSBURG...check it out!
