Group Plays Warped Tour Dates Thru Mid-August

NEW YORK, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- With the release of their debut Virgin album, DON'T YOU FAKE IT, scheduled for July 18th, Virgin debut band THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS -- front man Ronnie Winter, guitarists Duke Kitchens and Elias Reidy, bassist Joey Westwood and drummer Jon Wilkes -- are already riding a wave of excitement surrounding the single and video for "Face Down." The group plays a month of live dates on the Vans Warped Tour from the release date through mid-August.

Interest in the group and the album's first single and video, "Face Down," directed by Paul Minor (James Blunt, BT, Louis XIV, Funeral For a Friend), has been surfacing in a major way in all online and cable music media. RJA was the most-played band on Purevolume.com last week while the band is currently generating 70,000 streams daily of the four songs posted on Myspace.com.

MTV / MTV2 / MTVU have included RJA in their "Discover & Download" promotion with video rotation on the three channels, including MTV Overdrive (online) which began on June 19th. RJA was introduced on MTV2's signature video debut program UNLEASHED on Monday, June 5th. They chose the video as its all-day premiere selection while promoting it in spots on the channel and on their website in the lead-up week. No other artist's first video has enjoyed the degree of MTV2 rotation as was planned for RJA. The video is #3 on FUSE's Oven Fresh Video show, and the #6 Alternative Video on Music Choice while it's among the top 10 alternative videos On Demand. On AOL Music, where the band is a featured new artist, "Face Down" is currently #4 on AOL Radio's Alternative/Rock chart.

Streaming on-line "listening parties" of the entire DON'T YOU FAKE IT album are set up for the week of album release on America Online, MSN, Purevolume.com and ArtistDirect.

Several gaming websites are previewing Electronic Arts' Madden 2007 video game with a snippet of the RJA album track "In Fate's Hands," and a Cingular Sound Off 2006 promotion places RJA in 14 different Conde Nast print publications, along with audio and video content featured on the Cingular mobile devices of 56 million subscribers.
