NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Sire Records) - New Jersey-based post-hardcore quartet Armor For Sleep announce plans for a massive three-month tour as the main support for
The Academy Is starting
September 5th along with Sherwood and the Rocket Summer. The tour will coincide with the release of Armor For Sleep's upcoming record, "Title TK," which comes out in October. With a solid line-up and already sold-out shows in Los Angeles and New York, this will be one of the most talked about tours this fall.
Last spring, Armor For Sleep joined forces with renowned producer Machine (Boys Night Out, Everytime I Die, 18 Visions) to record their new album at Machine Shop in Weehawken, NJ. This will be the band's third studio album to date and their first major label debut on Sire Records.
Armor For Sleep signed to Sire Records in 2006 after releasing the well-received "What To Do When You Are Dead" on independent label Equal Vision records. That album sold more than 200,000 copies and debuted at No 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers and Alternative Artists Chart. The same year, Armor For Sleep were a headlining act on the Vans Warped Tour with frontman Ben Jorgensen appearing with others on the cover of Alternative Press' Warped Tour issue. They also became the No 1 most viewed band on MTV.com's A to Z pages, and stayed No 1 on MTVU.com for five consecutive weeks.
