Release Notes:

The phrase ôsophomore jinxö gets tossed around a lot when it comes to bandsÆ
high expectations for their second release. The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came
right out of the gate with their debut full-length ôLonely Road.ö It was built
upon the hype of their rather famous debut and solid fan base that has stayed
with them while all the drama dropped from label wrestling.

ôLonely Roadö is the bandÆs newest and 2nd full-length release. And this is no
ôsophomore jinxö for sure. The band has upped the ante from its previous output
and produced an album that not only continues to blur the lines of different
styles of aggressive rock but also has a surprise at every corner.

It would seem that the band would leave off where their last album did, but this
isnÆt the case if you could imagine this record has everything you could ask for
from sugar filled hooks to heart melting choruses. It may be hard to believe but
think A Change Of Pace (with old singer) meets Boys Like Girls or Anberlin. It
has that rock feel that those bands unleash but then has vocals that sound
insanely just like A Change Of Pace or My American Heart do. That may sound like
a lot of sound meshing but trust me the final outcome is incredible.

Overall, ôLonely Roadö is a strong second outing for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
The only issue some casual listeners may find is the frenetic change in styles
with each song. It is a blend of all things punk, classic rock, and pop and this
may be too much for their fragile and virgin ears. But only them, great return
from a band that is destined for great things with the right push! ~ Staff
