REV THEORY ANNOUNCES FALL/WINTER TOUR WITH BREAKING BENJAMIN

(New York, NY) -- After an amazing summer that saw the band ruling rock radio (and the top slot on Sirius Active Rock rankings) with "Far From Over," headlining the Monster Energy second stage at Crüe Fest 2 and leading tens of thousands of concertgoers in thundering chants of "Hell Yeah," the name of their first single from 2008's sophomore LP, Light It Up, New York hard rock quintet REV THEORY announce their upcoming tour with BREAKING BENJAMIN.

 

BREAKING BENJAMIN have been a radio mainstay for a number of years, and REV THEORY are following directly in their footsteps.  The pairing of these two modern rock juggernauts, promises to be a win-win for both of the bands fans.  Not only are the fans excited, but REV THEORY is stoked as well, says lead singer Rich Luzzi, “We couldn't be more excited to tour with these guys! They have loyal fans and we are stoked to be able to open for them.”

 

Now with a loyal army at their backs, Rich Luzzi, Julien Jorgensen, Dave Agoglia, Matt McCloskey, and Rikki Lixx have hit stride, moving a milestone 100,000 albums. In a time when fans cling tight to hard-earned dollars, REV THEORY sold most of its records to concert ticket holders.

 

Released last June, REV THEORY’s sophomore album Light It Up features production from Brian Howes (Hinder, Chris Daughtry) and Josh Abraham (Linkin Park, Velvet Revolver). It's the follow-up to 2005's Truth is Currency, which launched REV THEORY’s career on the road opening for Papa Roach, Saliva, Flyleaf and others. In fall 2008, the band played with Hinder and Crüe Fest veterans Trapt for the Jagermeister Tour. And gamers know REV THEORY for having the first ever video on Xbox Live and tracks on "MADDEN 09" and "NASCAR 09."
