Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Lancaster, PA’s August Burns Red have just premiered their brand new music video for ‘Ghosts‘, featuring guest vocals from A Day To Remember‘s, Jeremy McKinnon. The track is featured on August Burns Red’s new album Found In Far Away Places, which debuted at #4 in the US Billboard Top Albums Chart, #9 on the Billboard Top 200 and is available now on iTunes via Fearless Records.
“I think a lot of people, myself included, have always walked by homeless people or those less fortunate, and either ignored them or immediately thought that they must have done something wrong to be in their current situation,” Guitarist Brent Rambler explains about the subject matter within ‘Ghosts’.
“No one ever seems to take the time to stop and think that a small series of events can put you right in their place. A lot of homeless people led normal lives just like everyone else before they landed on the streets, and they deserve help and respect to get back on their feet. Not judgmental looks and whispers.”
In an effort to aid those in need, the band is going to be hosting a canned food drive to benefit local food banks in each market alongside their headline tour this Nov / Dec in the US. Fans are encouraged to bring two or more canned foods to the event and receive an exclusive August Burns Red poster. All canned goods can be dropped off inside the venue the night of the show.
The band are currently in Europe on tour with Asking Alexandria and In Hearts Wake and heading to London’s Alexandra Palace for Vans Warped Tour on Sunday 18th October to kick off the UK portion of their Europe Tour.
