FLYLEAF: Limited-Edition 'Music As A Weapon' EP To Benefit WORLD VISION

November 28, 2006

In conjunction with the "Music As A Weapon Tour" — also featuring DISTURBED, STONE SOUR and NONPOINT — Texas-based FLYLEAF is issuing the limited-edition "Music As A Weapon" EP, available only at shows, featuring four original non-album tracks: "Fully Alive" (acoustic live performance),"Justice and Mercy", "Much Like Falling", and "Christmas Song". All proceeds from the EP sales will be donated to World Vision, which focuses on helping children who face poverty and injustice around the world.

Blessed with a deeply committed fan base, consistent record sales in non-traditional retail outlets, aggressive non-stop touring since the album's release 14 months ago, and two extremely well-received Mainstream/Modern Rock singles and videos — "I'm So Sick" followed by "Fully Alive" — FLYLEAF is more than living up to critical expectations.

FLYLEAF's gold-certified self-titled debut album was recorded in the spring 2005 during a two-month stay at Bay 7 Studios in Los Angeles with acclaimed producer Howard Benson, known for his work with PAPA ROACH, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, P.O.D., and THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS.

FLYLEAF — vocalist/lyricist Lacey Mosley, guitarists Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann, bassist Pat Seals, and drummer James Culpepper — have been playing together since 2002, though diminutive singer Mosley and the two guitarists go back a year before that. Raised by a single mother of six who always stayed one step ahead of the rent collectors, Mosley's tough luck childhood almost took her down — until redemption materialized in the form of songwriting, inspired at first by the lyrics of PANTERA's Phil Anselmo.

"Fully Alive" is currently spinning on more than 70 Modern and Active rock radio stations and the video was added into rotation at Fuse last month. FLYLEAF premiered the single on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", "CD USA", and NBC's "Last Call with Carson Daly".
