Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is Coming
Virgin Records reports: Virgin Records band THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS, is about to come roaring out of northern Florida with a tight, song-intensive fusion of punk-pop and alt-rock that's at once soul-gripping and butt-kicking. 

With production from David Bendeth (Hawthorne Heights, Breaking Benjamin), RJA is currently in New York completing their Virgin debut album (slated for summer 2006). The collection of songs take instant hold with an undeniable musical and emotional immediacy -- and then sink in and stick with an unexpectedly anthemic dimension. THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS is to join recent Virgin signees The Starting Line for a week of live dates in the southeast late in February. They will also be heading to SXSW this year for a performance as well.

RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS TOUR DATES WITH THE STARTING LINE

3/1 Charlotte, NC Tremont Music Hall 
3/2 Tampa, FL The Masquerade
