THEREFORE I AM TO RELEASE “THE SOUND OF HUMAN LIVES” JUNE 23RD

Therefore I Am have announced a June 23rd release date for The Sound Of Human Lives, the 13-track debut full-length, out on Equal Vision Records.

Therefore I Am are currently in the middle of a tour with Confide and Oceana. The tour serves as a warm up to this summer’s Vans Warped Tour on which the band will play the Skullcandy stage for the entire run. To say the band is excited about Warped Tour might be an understatement: “We’ve all grown up going to Warped Tour and to watch it grow into the amazing punk rock traveling circus it has become makes it even more of a dream come true to be a part of it.”

As a pre-release, the band has made available a limited edition 7″ vinyl featuring a track from Escape, “45 Miles”, and a remix of the song done by ex-The Receiving End Of Sirens guitarist, Brian Southall. The 500-piece run is pressed on blue/white swirl color vinyl, hand numbered, and only available at the band’s shows or MerchNow.com

FACT INVOLVED IN SERIOUS VAN ACCIDENT ON DAY OF ALBUM RELEASE

The members of Japanese rock band FACT were involved in a serious van accident yesterday afternoon. The band had played a show in Montgomery, AL the night before and was headed to their next gig in Altoona, PA, when another vehicle crossed the median on Interstate 85 just outside of Atlanta, striking the band’s van and causing the two vehicles to collide head on. The van flipped over on its side.

Everyone survived, but singer Hiro sustained a concussion and drummer Eiji remains hospitalized with a broken arm. Tour manager John Kim was originally thought to have suffered internal injuries but turned out to be OK and was released from the hospital. The other band members suffered minor injuries.

Due to Eiji’s arm injuries, FACT will be forced to cancel the remaining dates on their North American run and will return to Japan to recuperate. There were two US shows left and a string of Canadian dates that will be rescheduled at a later date.
