WE CAME AS ROMANS PREMIERES
“UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE’VE GROWN TO BE” MUSIC VIDEO
ON VEVO.COM
Detroit, MI’s We Came As Romans is premiering their new music video for “Understanding What We’ve Grown To Be” on vevo.com’s front page. The video is also available on YouTube HERE. This is the third and final installment of a video series that was directed by Travis Kopach [AFI, 3OH!3, Panic! At The Disco] and filmed in Brooklyn, NY.
We Came As Romans bassist Andrew Glass, who assists with the development and execution of creative concepts for all of the band’s album artwork and music videos, explains of the video series:
The three videos we shot portray a person lost, confused and struggling to find purpose in life. He sees himself at his darkest in the first video, trying endlessly to find his way out. After going through a traumatic experience, he finds his way out and his eyes begin to open to a new journey of finding out what really makes him feel alive. Through this journey the man traces back to his childhood house, where it all began. Overwhelming feelings wash over him as he remembers the feeling he once had long ago. Now, with a sense of purpose, he embarks back into the world to take the path he should have taken long ago.
The first video in the series, “Mis//Understanding”, debuted on ArtistDirect in November, followed by “Just Keep Breathing” a month later on Livestream.com, where the band members also chatted live with fans following the premiere. The two prior videos can now be viewed on We Came As Romans’ YouTube playlist HERE.
The band is currently overseas on a European co-headlining tour with Alesana and will next travel to Japan, for the first time, to perform at Scream Out Fest. This Spring, We Came As Romans will return home to the States for their next headlining run, The Fire and Ice Tour, with support from Emmure, blessthefall, Woe, Is Me, and The Color Morale.
We Came As Romans was also recently announced as a main stage performer for The Bamboozle on May 18th in Asbury Park, NJ. Additional main stage acts for the opening day of the 3-day festival include Skrillex, Incubus and Mac Miller. In May, the six-piece outfit will see another international first together, venturing to South America with Underoath, Protest The Hero and Close Your Eyes.
We Came As Romans is touring in support of their sophomore full-length album, Understanding What We’ve Grown To Be that was released in September 2011 and debuted at No. 20 on the Billboard Current Top 200 Chart, #5 on Top Hard Music, #7 Independent, #10 Top Current Rock, #15 Current Digital, and #21 on the Top 200 Album Chart. Understanding What We’ve Grown To Be has sold nearly 50k copies to date in the United States.
The album is available in stores (Target, Best Buy, Hot Topic, independent retailers and more), and online (iTunes, Amazon, MerchNOW and more) and has also been released internationally in Europe, Russia, and South Africa (via Nuclear Blast), New Zealand and Australia (via We Are Unified), and Japan (via Triple Vision).

![TEXAS IN JULY ANNOUNCESTHE LAST REALITY SPRING HEADLINING TOUR
Texas In July is proud to announce The Last Reality Tour - the band’s first full US headlining tour in support of their album, One Reality.
Joining the Ephrata, PA-based metal outfit on the tour will be Like Moths To Flames, The Air I Breathe and Hundredth. Splitting the opening slot of the tour will be One Year Later (March 30-April 15) and Equal Vision Records’ For All I Am (April 17-April 28).
In addition to the headlining dates, Texas In July will perform at several upcoming music festivals such as Jamboree Festival, New England Metal and Hardcore Fest and The Bamboozle.
Texas In July released One Reality, their sophomore full-length album, in April 2011 and earned a No. 3 premiere on the Billboard New Artist/Heatseekers Chart while also placing on the Billboard 200, Rock, Independent, and Hard Rock charts. One Reality was recorded in Hadley, MA with producer Zeuss [Hatebreed, Shadows Fall]. The album features technical, hard-hitting drumming, flawless transitions, ongoing dueling guitar riffs, and intricate arpeggios seamlessly melded together through the band’s intense breakdowns and melodic musical grooves. This past summer, the band released a music video for One Reality single ‘1000 Lies’ that can be viewed HERE.
The band’s impressive tour resume includes two European headlining runs and performances on the Motel 6 Rock Yourself To Sleep and I’m Alive tours with labelmates We Came As Romans, Take Action Tour with Bayside and Silverstein, and Scream The Prayer with Norma Jean. Texas In July is currently on a full US and Canada tour with August Burns Red , Silverstein and I the Breather.
The band made headlines when a video of drummer Adam Gray drumming and juggling drum sticks simultaneously went viral last year, leading to an opportunity to perform the trick on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Alternative Press magazine also named the band as one of the “100 Bands You Need to Know in 2011” and reviewed the album stating, “One Reality offers excellent pit fuel, with a few meditative moments that demonstrate an admirable depth that will hopefully continue to grow on future releases.”
Texas In July is currently writing for their full-length follow up to One Reality and plan to enter the studio and begin recording this summer. All upcoming Texas In July tour dates can be seen below.
