Nashville, TN. (Burke Communications) -- High on the success of their “Once Upon a Shattered Life” CD (BEC/Tooth & Nail) and 10th consecutive Top 5 Christian Rock single, the 2004 Dove Award Winner, for Best Christian Rock Album, Seventh Day Slumber (www.seventhdayslumber.com) is joining forces with Eowyn (www.eowynmusic.com), Manic Drive (www.ManicDrive.com), and Fireflight (www.fireflightrock.com), for a November 2006 tour across the U.S. through Colorado to North Carolina. Seventh Day Slumber�s lead singer/songwriter, Joseph Rojas, says of the package, “Seventh Day Slumber has had a great year, thanks to our fans and the support of our label. We just delivered a new album to BEC, “Finally Awake,” which will be released in early 2007. And, so we decided to finish out this year�s touring by going out with three bands whose music we really love.”
Seventh Day Slumber (www.seventhdayslumber.com) burst on the scene in 2003 with their Crowne Records single, “Picking Up the Pieces,” from which 5 additional singles were released. Three of those singles reached #1 on the Christian Rock chart. “Once Upon a Shattered Life” is their first CD release for BEC/Tooth and Nail, which has also re-released “Picking Up the Pieces.” Since then, it has achieved both commercial and critical success. The band has toured throughout North America in 2006 including stints with other award winning artists Skillet, Kutless, Day of Fire, SuperChic[k], Krystal Meyers, Hawk Nelson, KJ52, Falling Up and many more. The band is well known among fans for their powerful, crunch-filled music, a message of hope, and redemption.
Éowyn (pronounced A-owin; www.eowynmusic.com),) is known for her hypnotic vocals, melodic lyrics, energizing stage presence, and an eclectic performance you won�t forget. Eowyn has had radio play in over 78 cities nationwide, and two Top Twenty National Christian Rock Singles on the R&R Charts. Her first single “Take Me Away” ranked at #18, and her second single “Hold Me” went up to #15. In 2006, Éowyn has national distribution with Wesscott Marketing, also known for its worldwide distribution of Billy Graham Ministries books, tapes, and film. She is an “independent artist,” but it is hard to see her as such with the amount of industry success she has already had. ”Reason for Motion,” Manic Drive�s (www.ManicDrive.com) international debut is the result of their relentless pursuit of accomplishing their mission in a relevant way. Riff-driven aggressive rhythms on the heavier side lead by melodic vocals put the band squarely in the center of the new rock edge with the advantage of being veteran performers. Their hits "Memories" and "Luckiest" have climbed the R&R Top 30 Christian Rock chart followed by two top ten music videos that are heavily impacting international television.
Fireflight (www.fireflightrock.com) was formed five years ago in Orlando, Florida, and were a fixture of the local rock scene. Fireflight is familiar to national music audiences as well. Its self-released EP, “On The Subject of Moving Forward,” sold thousands of copies independently. Additionally, Songwriters Showcases of America named Fireflight “Band of the Year” in 2004. Fireflight released its national debut on Flicker Records, “The Healing of Harms,” July 25, 2006 to critical and commercial acclaim. The project�s debut single, “You Decide,” topped the Christian Rock radio chart, and Fireflight took its new songs on the road, playing 14 summer festivals as well as SHOUTFEST.
