LOS ANGELES (Capitol Records) - Capitol/Gotee recording group
Relient K has announced plans to spend their summer rocking North
America as part of the annual Vans Warped Tour. The Canton, Ohio-based outfit - whose smash fourth album, 'MMHMM,' was released last November - will join the tour's North Stage lineup, beginning July 6th in Pomona, California.
Relient K will continue with the trek through to its conclusion, set for August 15th at Northampton, Massachusetts' Three Counties Fairgrounds (see attached itinerary).
'MMHMM' has proven to be Relient K's most successful outing to date, reaping unanimous critical commendations and the fastest sales of the band's career. Fuelled by the band's non-stop road work - including their current arena tour alongside Good
Charlotte and
Simple Plan - the album recently re-entered the Billboard 200 (where it debuted last November at an impressive No 15, while also topping Billboard's 'Internet Album Sales' chart). In addition, the collection's first single, 'Be My Escape,' is shaping up to be a major summer hit, currently climbing the Top 40 radio airplay charts. Monday, June 6th will see
Relient K featured on MTV's '10 Spot Drop.' The inventive weekly promotion introduces new bands to the network's audience via a series of unique 15-second spots as well as a content-laden cross-promotion at MTV.com. Included on the
Relient K content page at MTV.com will be exclusive photos, ringtones, and the full-length video for 'Be My Escape.'
Relient K recently won Yahoo! Music's monthly 'Who's Next?' poll, scoring a striking 62% of all votes cast. To celebrate their remarkable victory, the band contributed an exclusive interview and live performance of 'Be My Escape.'
