August 15, 2011 — EGYPT CENTRAL–John Falls (vocals), Joey Chicago (bass), Blake Allison (drums) and Jeff James (guitar)—is well on their way to another hit single from their critically acclaimed WHITE RABBIT album (Fat Lady Music/ILG), which debuted on SoundScan’s “Current Hard Music Albums” chart at #5 and at #78 on Billboard’s “Top 200 Albums” chart.

“Kick Ass” is currently being serviced to radio stations across the country. A live video exclusively premiered on Revolver magazine’s website today. The clip was shot at a sold-out show in Ft. Wayne, IN with Isaac Dietz at the director’s helm.

Radio won’t be the only place where the song will be heard. So far, the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys football teams are playing a re-vamped “Gridiron” version of the song, “Kick Off,” as part of their in-stadium music program. Other teams will be adding the song to their stadium playlists in the coming weeks.

In touring news, EGYPT CENTRAL recently concluded their headlining tour with Burn Halo and Red Line Chemistry, as well as a brief stint with Hinder have concluded.

The annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival returns August 26 through October 15 to conquer North America with a massive active rock lineup. Leading the charge is multi-platinum headliner Avenged Sevenfold, making their triumphant return after co-headlining the 2010 debut Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival.

Three Days Grace, Seether and Bullet For My Valentine, along with Escape The Fate will also be featured on this year’s main stage. The touring music and lifestyle festival–which Revolver called “one of the most electric tours of the year” in 2010–also includes the Best Buy Music Gear Stage headliners Sevendust, as well as Black Tide, Art Of Dying and The Black Cloud Collective.

“When we started hearing from our fans they wanted to see us back on UPROAR this year, we thought, last year was a blast so let’s do it again. The fans are crazy and the bands kick ass,” says Avenged Sevenfold‘s frontman M. Shadows. “We’re spending the first half of summer playing some big European festivals so we’re going to be ready to get back home and play America’s top rock festival.”

“We’re thrilled to have Avenged Sevenfold back as headliners,” adds tour producers John Reese and John Oakes. “Their epic stage show helped elevate UPROAR 2010 far beyond the standard outdoor festival. The fans wanted more, and we listened.”
