AUGUST BURNS RED To Record/Film Hometown Show For Upcoming CD/DVD
April 15, 2010Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED will film its June 4 concert at Warehouse 54 in Manheim, Pennsylvania for a forthcoming CD/DVD, to be released later this year through longtime label home Solid State Records.
Commented guitarist JB Brubaker: "We're stoked to have an opportunity to release a live album and DVD, and it only makes it better that we'll be able to do so in our hometown in front of the people that have been behind us since the beginning."
"Even though this is a hometown show for us," continued Brubaker, "we encourage anyone who wants to travel to come, see how we get down at home, and be a part of this DVD!"
Berlin, Germany's PitCam Production conducted an interview with AUGUST BURNS RED when the group played in Berlin on March 2, 2010. Watch the chat below.
"Constellations", the third full-length album from AUGUST BURNS RED, debuted at an impressive No. 24 on The Billboard 200. Released on July 14, 2009, the LP also landed at No. 8 on Current Rock Albums, No. 2 on Top Hard Music Albums (less than 300 units behind NICKLEBACK!) and No. 2 on the Christian Market chart.
With sales of 20,000 copies in its first week, "Constellations" more than doubled the first-week numbers of its predecessor, 2007's "Messengers", which debuted in The Billboard 200 at No. 81 and went on to sell well over 80,000 copies. "Constellations" also hit the No. 1 New Music Release spot iTunes the day it was released, and entered the Top 100 at No. 6, nestled between a MICHAEL JACKSON best-of album and the movie soundtrack for a certain wizard named Harry. "We thought we set the bar pretty high for this release, but we never envisioned 'Constellations' coming out of the gates the way it has," said guitarist JB Brubaker. "It's so awesome to have such supportive and enthusiastic listeners!"
