NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Warner Bros Records) - "Smile for Them," the new album from Sire recording artists Armor for Sleep, will hit stores today! The New Jersey-based quartet, which is comprised of members Ben Jorgensen (Vocals/Guitar), PJ DeCicco (Guitar), Anthony Dilonno (Bass), and Nash Breen (Drums), joined forces with renowned producer Machine (Lamb of God, Every Time I Die, Cobra Starship) at Machine Shop in Weehawken, NJ, for "Smile for Them" - the band's third studio album and their major-label debut. According to Alternative Press Magazine, who awarded the album four stars, Armor has created "sprawling slow-burners" and "infectious anthems," backed by "sophisticated guitar-rock epics."
"Smile for Them" has already been building a buzz around Armor for Sleep. The band appeared on MTV's "TRL" on October 29th for the premiere of the video for "Williamsburg," their first single, and can also be seen on MTV2, MTVU, and MTV.com. The video will also air on MTV2's "The Drop" on November 3rd. The band will be playing the MTV2 Dew Circuit Break Out after-party, and will be featured in the promos for the repeats.
