TFK HEADLINE “BORN THIS WAY TOUR”
BEGINS OCT. 7
Top-selling rock band THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH
consistently records the “fists-in-the-air” anthems embraced by the sports
entertainment world to fire-up their faithful fans. The band’s second
consecutive No. 1 selling Billboard Hard Rock album, OXYGEN:INHALE,
released Aug. 26 through The Fuel Music, is no exception. Although the album
dares to lower the volume on a few songs and allow the melodies and words to
soar, tracks like lead single, “Born This Way,” and “Untraveled Road,” are two adrenaline-fueled tunes already tapped for
highlight reels.
Adopted by the NHL’s Ottawa Senators as their
2014-15 anthem, “Untraveled Road” is like marching orders set to music, with
vocals delivered with hip hop urgency before exploding into a chorus that
reminds of Linkin Park at their catchiest. The Senators will open its season
tonight in Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre arena with a video featuring the song,
as well as feature the track throughout the season. Schedules permitting, TFK
will also play “Untraveled Road” live in the arena during a home game this
season.
The song is further being used in the “pump-up” video
for the Montreal Canadiens’ 2014-15 season, and can be seen at http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=4HTT1UXoeOU.
“This song is about standing up for what you believe
in,” says TFK frontman Trevor McNevan. “It's about not being afraid to
take the first step, or be the first voice. It's about having the courage to be
unashamed, and the faith you need to take a step before you can see the ground.
The ‘untraveled road’ is symbolism for being at a crossroads, and having to
decide which path you're going to take. Sometimes it takes everything.”
“Born This Way” is similarly being fused into sports
programming, featured on NASCAR and Southeastern Conference (SEC) college
football games on ESPN through mid-December. The song also continues to climb
the Active and Mainstream Rock charts as it picks up over 360,000 views and
4,600+ likes on YouTube.
The success of “Born This Way” and OXYGEN:INHALE
is giving a significant boost to TFK’s first headline tour in support of its
new album. Launching its “Born This Way Tour” into major markets across the US
beginning Oct 7 at Mojoes in Chicago (Joliet, IL), the tour then travels
through Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Charlotte and many more cities before
wrapping up Nov. 9 at Jake's Backroom in Lubbock, TX. Guest artists featured on
select dates include We As Human, Righteous Vendetta and Like A Storm.
