The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus released “X’s For Eyes,” the second single from their album ‘X’s For Eyes’ out now via Better Noise Music, and the guitars hit hard while the melody soars and the rhythm jumps fast in this riveting song that extends a helping hand to someone living close to the edge. Lead vocalist, guitarist and founding member Ronnie Winter digs in deep with his signature wide ranging voice, delivering powerful lyrics about choosing happiness over being right and taking control before it’s too late. The album marks the first full length from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus as part of a new partnership with Better Noise Music, featuring vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam and newest member K Enagonio on vocals. Winter reteamed with producer and songwriter Matt Squire who’s worked with Panic! at the Disco, Metallica and Good Charlotte for the title track, following their collaboration on “Slipping Through (No Kings)” that came out June 27.
Winter reveals what’s really exciting is they basically rebuilt the same team for ‘X’s For Eyes’ that they had when they made ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT,’ with many people who were behind the scenes nearly 20 years ago working on things like mixing, track sequencing and artwork coming back together. The reunion feels perfect, and fans of ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT’ are going to love this album that truly has something for everyone including what became known as The Lost Songs, tracks from their original 2004 pre signing demo that didn’t make it onto ‘DON’T YOU FAKE IT.’ Fans have been asking for these songs for over 20 years and they’re being commercially released for the first time ever, making Winter feel like they were digging up something long buried and raising a zombie from the dead in the best possible way.
