Detroit, MI --- I Prevail has announced the Crossroads Tour, with a coast to coast itinerary that will feature Danger Kids, Fit For Rivals, Dayseeker and Animal In Me on all dates. I Prevail drummer Lee Runestad shares, "We're absolutely stoked with the way The Crossroads Tour came together! It's an awesome lineup of talented bands with great sounds who each have something unique to bring to the package. We're also lucky enough to hit a bunch of new cities on this tour, which is really exciting. We couldn't be more pumped to hit the road, make some new friends, and most importantly, keep giving it all on stage each night for our fans."
Late in 2014, the then unknown band I Prevail placed a rendition of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" on You Tube. They struck lightning in a bottle, delivering one of the most virally shared performances on Spotify this year with well over three million streams, and a video that has now been viewed over 11 MILLION times on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czb_CZfWko8. Single sales have exceeded 200,000 digital downloads, while I Prevail now has over 136,000 "likes" on Facebook. The band's EP HEART VS. MIND was issued in December, peaking at #1 on the iTunes Rock Album chart, while "Blank Space" rose to #1 on the iTunes Rock Singles chart. Current sales exceed 30,000 copies. It is available here: http://found.ee/heartvsmind.
Vocalist Brian Burkheiser offers, "It’s crazy exciting, when we did the video we hoped for 5,000-10,000 views including our friends and families. Now when we try to think about eleven million views, it's so hard to imagine, but it really makes us work harder to make all our fans happy with this adventure. We want to meet all eleven million one to one but it's getting tougher to do, but we will keep trying.”
Direct support act Danger Kids collectively share, "This will be our first full U.S. tour since the Vans Warped Tour last summer, and we couldn't be more excited to get back out on the road to see some familiar faces and make some new friends! We want to thank all of our fans for their never-ending support, and we will see you all very soon on the Crossroads Tour!" Fit For Rivals offer, "We here at Fit For Rivals are really excited to be going out on tour with I Prevail! We will be visiting a lot of places that we've previously been to and can't wait to reconnect with our fans. With our single 'Freak Machine' out on the radio, this tour is going to be an amazing opportunity to show everyone our new jams." It’s rare to find a band nowadays who can really pack a punch lyrically. Typically you’re stuck with either overdone concept albums that falter instrumentally or “party rock anthems” with catchy beats but nothing to actually say. Southern California's Dayseeker seem to have broken that mold with their sophomore release Origin. Having toured with bands like Our Last Night, The Color Morale, and Ice Nine Kills, The Animal In Me are no strangers to the road. With their sophomore album slated for release mid-tour, they're ready to finally share their new songs with their fans old and new. Be on the lookout for new cover videos and original releases to kick off the tour.
