Just a band i thought i should talk about. A mate when for a trip to the USA a few weeks back and got back the other day and got me a CD and said i should give a try and tell him what i think and when he gave me the ablum and i saw the name 'The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' i was not expecting to be listening to a emo/pop/screamO type of music. And i was even more suprised when i heard the song 'face down', its one of the best songs on the album and one of the best songs i have heard but i have massive problem, there more then unknown in england. The only people i know that know anything about them are the people my friend and i have forced to listen to the album so the leads me to the big question, are they doing another album and if they are whens it out?

Personally all that EMO/Screamo bull shit is gay. EMo=pothetic people cutting themselves to get people to feel sorry for themselves. that's all they are. And RJA suck more balls then a horny MJ IMO. I mean anyone who likes them I have no problem with but people who are EMO should just fuck offf.........IMO

^^^ You have no idea of the origin of emo music then.

Emo started off as an off spring of punk while keeping the guitar drums and heavy vocal aspect it was the lyrics that defined this genre as being more about feelings more emotional then its punk predecessor while over time emo has changed to become more of a ballad than the original emocore as it was called original is none the less the baby of punk.

I don't care they let any one become artists. It's the biggest waste of time, space, and effort to have any kind of cd, concert, show for EMOCORE bull shit.

I don't hate it, but I'm not a fan of it either, if someone likes that type of music I'm not going to yell at them talking about how it's bull shit and stuff...*Cough cough*

I <3 the band, im listing to them now actually. They have a great sound and a large mix of styles. There very orginal and a great soft sound and a heavy beat also when they want to.

Our Objective: Writing straight forward rock songs about topics that are REAL and you can relate to. There's no hidden meaning. We want you to understand and we want to share it with you. RJA is a family and we want you to be a part of it. About Us: Well, to make it short and sweet, We're five poor country boys from florida that gave up everything to share our music with people. But if you'd like to read into it more...feel free...

What's in a name? Well, it depends who came up with it. In the case of Middleburg, Florida quintet The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, it might mean anything. Jumpsuits can be sleek and fashionable, tight and revealing. Or they can be loose and homogeneous, suggesting redundancy and confinement befitting a jailbird. Red is often flashy and easily noticeable, but it's also the color of blood. And an apparatus allows a jumpsuit to be used for a specific purpose, such as leaping from an airplane - or it could be something sexual. After all, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are ballsy and emotional, pulsing with vibrancy and tenacity. They're strong, yet vulnerable, and they shift between musical styles with the confidence of superstars.

Strange then that The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus means absolutely nothing. "It's 100 percent completely arbitrary," laughs singer Ronnie Winter. "When we started the band, we only cared about having a good time and writing good songs far more than coming up with some symbolic, incredibly intelligent name."

"I think its funny when bands scramble their brains to try and come up with some unique, untouchable band name," adds guitarist Elias Reidy. "Why waste time thinking of something when we could be concentrating on music instead? The locals loved it, so we went with it."

A brief listen to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus debut and its obvious that these boys have spent a lot of time concentrating on their music. Their songs are flush with the determination, hunger and energy of youth (the average age in the band is 21). And while they tap into elements of pop-punk, pop, screamo, and metal, they combine them in a way that's both surprising and invigorating. "In a time when everything's labeled and categorized, you kind of have to try your best to step outside the box and be as unpredictable as possible to separate yourself," explains Reidy.

Thats a brief BIO i enjoyed reading on there myspace.
