New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Indie rockers Born Cages have announced two back to back fall tours. The first tour is with The Lighthouse and The Whaler starting September 14th. Born Cages will stay on the road and join Family Force 5 starting October 16th.
Fresh off the momentum from their summer run on the Vans Warped Tour, Born Cages will bring their hypnotic stage energy as support to audiences nationwide. The band continues to tour in support of their June release I'm Glad I'm Not Me (Washington Square/Razor & Tie) - purchase the album HERE: https://geni.us/borncages . Lead singer and guitarist Vlad Holiday comments, "We had an amazing time on our summer tour. It got pretty crazy at times, but usually in a good way. Now we're very eager to get back to all the same places, especially on these two tours with these two cool bands. Gonna be a blast."
I'm Glad I'm Not Me was produced by Jon Kaplan (Cage The Elephant, Walk The Moon) and co-produced by lead singer and guitarist Vlad Holiday. Born Cages debut album has impacted the alternative radio charts reaching the top ten. The album features explosive guitar riffs and heavenly backup vocals to match the unfiltered charm of Born Cages' urban English indie rock vibe. The album includes fan favorite/first single and synth heavy "Rolling Down the Hill," as well as their newly released electro-rock anthem, "I Just Want The Truth, Baby." The song premiered at Kick Kick Snare and has received over 365,000 listens to date. The site raves the song, "is a departure from a predictable formulaic structure that most songs populating (and polluting) the indie/alt rock genre are producing."
The band's video for the song "Rolling Down The Hill" won mtvU's The Freshmen competition and the song has charted Top 10 at Alternative Specialty radio. A remix of the song reached #2 on Hype Machine's popular remix chart. The album has reached #9 at Alternative Specialty with the recent success of "I Just Want The Truth, Baby'" Yahoo Music declares, "Born Cages is a group that definitely knows how to bring the rock" and AXS compares the band to chart-toppers Walk The Moon, stating Born Cages have, "exceptional potential to infiltrate mainstream radio and shake it up."
Lead singer and guitarist Vlad Holiday formed Born Cages in 2011 and the group dove head-first into New York City's unique indie rock movement. He is joined by Dave Tantao on drums and Matt Maroulakos on bass/keyboards. The band has received nods from the likes of Rolling Stone, MTV.com, and Vice Noisey and they have shared bills with a bevy of acts such as Hockey, Magic Man, X Ambassadors, Donald Cumming (of The Virgins), Har Mar Superstar, Prinze George, JD Samson, Said TheWhale, PVRIS and Public Access TV. They were even handpicked by Guns N' Roses to be the sole support band on two sold out GN'R club shows.
