Brentwood, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Sparrow Records) - NEEDTOBREATHE, one of the most acclaimed new bands of 2006 in Christian and mainstream music circles alike, will be a special guest on the Jars of Clay Good Monsters Tour this February through April. The anthemic South Carolina act will rock hits from its debut DAYLIGHT and road-test new songs as well.

Posting online from the studio, the band said, 'This tour's gonna take us all over the US and even into Canada . . . The (new) songs are really starting to take shape now, and we couldn't be more excited. We'll be playing some of (them) on the Jars of Clay tour.'

NEEDTOBREATHE released DAYLIGHT in April via Sparrow Records and Atlantic/Lava Records to immediate acclaim, leading to a CCM magazine cover story, concert dates with Train, music placement on major television shows and films, and the hit singles 'You Are Here' and 'Shine On.'

CCM wrote, 'Simply put, DAYLIGHT is so deep on potential rock radio singles, this disc would make a good 'best of' album for a lot of other bands.' On Course magazine declared, 'The debut from NEEDTOBREATHE should be an instant favorite for fans of melodic modern rock. The band deftly combines its sense of musical style to its lyrics, creating an addicting, infectious listening experience.' Aspiring Retail called DAYLIGHT 'a quality album that could revive both radio and retail.' Christian Retailing deemed it 'a standout album of the year . . . a moving rock collection that begs the listener to turn out the lights, turn up the volume, and soak it in.'
