EGYPT CENTRAL INVADES FOOTBALL STADIUMS NATIONWIDE WITH
HOT NEW SINGLE “KICK ASS”;
CONFIRMS
TOURS WITH HINDER, RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS AND POP EVIL
September 15, 2011 --
“Kick Ass,” the latest single by EGYPT CENTRAL--John
Falls (vocals), Joey Chicago (bass), Blake Allison (drums) and Jeff
James (guitar)—is doing just that at radio stations across
the country, making it the #1 Most Added song on the BDS chart and
#2 Most Added song on the Mediabase chart at Active Rock radio.
The song is from the Memphis band’s critically acclaimed WHITE
RABBIT Fat Lady Music/ILG album, which debuted on SoundScan’s
“Current Hard Music Albums” chart at #5 and at #78 on
Billboard’s “Top 200 Albums” chart.
Meanwhile, fans attending
home games for the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas
Cowboys will be able to hear “The Gridiron Mix” version
of “Kick Ass,” fittingly titled “Kick Off,”
as part of the team’s in-stadium music programs. With lyrics
such as: “Now is the moment/I waited for/I can't be broken/I'll
settle the score,” it’s only fitting that a team such
as the Baltimore Ravens picked “Kick Off” to be their
official kick-off song this season, and they’ve created a
video which can be seen on their official website: http://bit.ly/oBzq5n.
The Ravens also invited the band to perform at their annual “Countdown
To Kick Off” party held in Baltimore last week, where the
band performed in front of hundreds of fans along with Chevelle,
Hinder and Pop Evil.
“Kick Ass”
has quickly racked up more than 30 adds at stations and syndicated
radio outlets, even before its official September 13 release date.
Early supporters include WIYY (Baltimore), WIIL (Chicago), WAXQ
(Syracuse), WJRR (Orlando), SiriusXM’s “Octane,”
WJJO (Madison), and many others. It’s already looking at a
strong debut on the Active Rock charts next week.
A live video can be
seen on the band’s YouTube page here: http://bit.ly/psoV21.
It was shot at a sold-out show in Ft. Wayne, IN with Isaac Dietz
at the director’s helm.
Known as one of the
Active Rock scene’s most explosive live acts, EGYPT CENTRAL
continues to tour all over the U.S. as they confirm new dates with
Pop Evil, Hinder and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. As noted in a recent
Hardrockhaven.net review: “From the moment that John Falls
and Egypt Central hit the stage, the band commanded attention.”
And Musictourreviews.com agreed: “…they always bring
their A game and I have never seen a bad show from them.”
