The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Debuts at No. 14

Although platinum-selling modern rockers The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus chose the title Lonely Road for their new release with family and friends at home in mind, the band continues to build a loyal worldwide group of fans propelling their new release to a No. 14 debut.

Prior to the release of Lonely Road, the lead-off single "You Better Pray" had proven itself a national hit in both the Alternative and Active Rock radio formats, with wide video exposure through FUSE, Music Choice, MTVu and MTV2, which premiered their video all day long on "Unleashed."

As for why the Red Jumpsuit isn't a household name, the band's lead singer Ronnie Winter has an idea. "We kind of walk a fine line between what I call Bible-thumping and doing the right thing," Winter says. "I don't beat you over the head with it in our lyrics. We don't beat you over the head with it with our message."

Winter also notes: "Yes, we are all Christian and some of the songs do send out a message but that doesn't mean we fit into the genre of a Christian Band,to have made it this far is a blessing. we are all so happy and thankful,thanks to all the fans,our family,friends."
