Velocity/Rise Records are proud to announce the signing of Boston’s own A LOSS FOR WORDS.

“We are so excited to a part of the Velocity/Rise Records family,” says A LOSS FOR WORDS front man Matt Arsenault. “Everyone at the label and every band on it has the same passion for and dedication to music that we do.  We couldn’t be happier.”

A LOSS FOR WORDS have released a special YouTube video to their fans about their recent signing to the Velocity/Rise Records family. Fans can view the video here.

The band are currently in the writing stages in between tours for their as-of-yet untitled Velocity/Rise debut, and will be recording with acclaimed producer Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Versa Emerge, Our Last Night) in May/June. The album is currently slated for a September release.

Prior to joining the Velocity/Rise Records family, A LOSS FOR WORDS have released a plethora of music that has garnered fans the world over. With their first self released EP, THESE PAST FIVE YEARS along with their highly successful cover album, entitled MOTOWN CLASSICS, and full length THE KIDS CAN’T LOSE, A LOSS FOR WORDS have put themselves on the map showing they have what it takes to make a serious impact.

A LOSS FOR WORDS are a group that shows no signs of stopping. These five guys are filled with such passion, dedication, and creativity, that everyone is taking notice. Members of such well-known bands as BAYSIDE, FOUR YEAR STRONG, and BANE regard A LOSS FOR WORDS as one of the hardest working bands in their genre today.

BAD RELIGION ANNOUNCE DATES WITH RISE AGAINST

Influential Punk Band Tours In Support Of Acclaimed New Album

February 8, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA – Iconic punk champions Bad Religion will be hitting the road along with melodic hardcore upstarts Rise Against for what is sure to be one of the most electrifying and rousing tours of the year. In the last months Bad Religion have celebrated thirty years of innovative and genre defining music, capping the landmark with the release of their critically acclaimed new album The Dissent of Man featuring radio hits “The Devil In Stitches” and “Cyanide.” The band is now set to take its exquisitely inflammatory live act across America, performing a charged mixture of new material and beloved classics.

“The crew rarely relented during its torrid 75-minute set. Graffin channeled Robert Mitchum’s “Night Of The Hunter” preacher on the twisted “Man With A Mission” promising followers eternal salvation as a bevy of slashing riffs ripped at his heels like hellfire.  The brutally efficient “Atomic Garden” found the band bringing sonic life to the U.S war machine, dual guitarists nearly drowning Graffin in a howling metallic crunch of feedback-soaked noise.”  – Recent live review, Chicago Tribune
