FACE DOWN - THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS
Virgin Records is getting into the screamo game with the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, a group whose songs make better sense than its name. “Face Down” is a treatise on physical abuse. The punk/rock style is a great vehicle for the storyteller’s frustration in watching the sad cycle, with singer Ronnie Winter passionately bellowing, “One day she will tell you she has had enough.” The band’s pop chops are undeniable, but thankfully it doesn’t use them to turn the serious subject into fluff. The band wins points for a song well done and for raising awareness about an issue affecting its fans more than such kids likely admit. Billboard
