The When We Were Emo Tour featuring The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Attack Attack! will be stopping by The Fine Line on Friday, July 15th and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be there!
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is an American rock band that formed in 2003. Hailing from Middleburg, FL the members include brothers Ronnie and Randy Winter, Josh Burke, Joey Westwood, and Jon Espy. Over their years as a band, they have achieved Gold and Platinum certifications from the RIAA as well as hundreds of millions of collective song streams worldwide. They have toured extensively both in arena festival settings and headlining tours around the globe tirelessly never taking an official Hiatus or band break up that entire time (16 years). They are family-owned and operated as well as having success both signed to a Major label and independently. Though widely known for their song “Face Down”, released on Virgin Records in 2006, the band actually only received Billboard Rock Chart # 1 status after leaving Virgin in 2011. In that time frame (post-Virgin 2011-2019), the band achieved #1 SEVEN times completely independent on Billboard’s Christian Rock Radio charts! This has allowed the band to have both fans of the old and new music and ensured a longevity that the band regards as its most precious achievement. “I Love the feeling that I get when I see the look on someone’s face in the crowd who loves the new album and then we start up Face Down and you see them realize we are that same band.” said frontman Ronnie.
If you went to Warped Tour in the mid 2000s, shopped at Hot Topic, or were active on MySpace; then you have heard the name “Attack Attack!” While the band’s career was relatively short-lived, their reputation has done nothing but grow since the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2013. Known for incorporating dance/electronica music with metal, the band consistently bent the rules of songwriting. They took the sounds they liked and crafted seemingly incompatible genres into anthems for local Ohio scene kids, and later, audiences across the globe. After years of silence, Attack Attack! have now exploded back onto the scene. They’re here to remind you that rules are made to be broken, adversity is meant to be overcome, and that legends never die.
Kingdom Collapse and Astoria State are both opening this massive tour so make sure to get there early!
