AWOLNATION LAUNCH CANNED FOOD DRIVE DURING FALL HARVEST TOUR

AWOLNATION has announced the “Fall Harvest Tour,” a headlining concert tour in support of their debut album Megalithic Symphony (Red Bull Records), with Middle Class Rut and Twin Atlantic to support. Throughout the tour the band is working with local community food banks to establish a food drive at each show, benefiting area families in need. Fans are encouraged to bring canned foods, and all who do so will be rewarded with free downloads from AWOLNATION and Twin Atlantic, a free 6-month subscription toThe Red Bulletin magazine, 10% offBench. Clothing, and will be entered to win a $100 gift card from Bench Clothing.

AWOLNATION have had a banner year.  Their single “Sail” has been certified GOLD in the US where it reached the top 5 on the Alternative Chart and PLATINUM in Canada where it reached #1.  The band has performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. “Sail” was also recently used in promos for the new season of House on FOX and you can see the official music videohere.

Sacramento-based Middle Class Rut artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic with raw, energized rock and roll. The group's two members, Sean Stockham (vocals, drums) and Zack Lopez (vocals, guitars), have been playing together since they were teenagers.  Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Twin Atlantic is out in support of its critically lauded debut full-length, FREE, which was recorded at Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica, CA with legendary producer Gil Norton (Foo Fighters, Pixies, Jimmy Eat World). After several sold-out tours of their native UK, this will be their second tour of the U.S.  The video for the first single “Free” can be seenhere.
