June 20th Parsippany, NJ - Alternative rock band A Boy Named John have announced the exclusive stream of their forthcoming album, So We Live | So We Die! Fans can stream the project via Myspace HERE. Set to release on June 24th, this marks the band's first full-length project. The album features production credits from Kevin Kumetz (I Am the Avalanche, With The Punches, Seaway) and Michael White (Whitney Houston, 3 Doors Down, The Rolling Stones). The album features their single "Don't Kill the Messenger," which earned the band a spot on Alternative Press' "#FEELS" Spotify playlist.

"So We Live | So We Die is our first full length album and our first real collaborative effort as musicians," the band told Myspace. The six-piece pulled inspiration for the project from their everyday lives. "We wrote about the environment and people we surrounded ourselves with," they remarked, "If we can make someone, anyone relate and think about where they stand in life I think we would be pretty happy." So We Live | So We Die follows the band's 2014 debut EP, Or So It Seems.

Comprised of Christian Singh (vocals), Josh Lustig (guitar), Jack Lips (guitar), Nick Spillert (bass), Dean Mulligan (drums) and Paul Singh (keyboard, guitar), A Boy Named John is currently performing along the East coast in advance of their album release. The six-piece has shared the stage with prominent alternative rock outfits like You Me At Six, Metro Station, Never Shout Never, The Academy Is... and The Spill Canvas, to name a few.

A Boy Named John derives their name from middle school band teacher, John SanGiovanni, who offered guitarist Lustig early advice on the band's first jam session. It's this initial burst of inspiration that has fueled their music ever since. "We share powerful messages in our music about controversial topics in hopes to inspire our listeners," the band told NorthJersey.com. Gracing the stages of venues like The Stone Pony,Starland Ballroom and Webster Hall, A Boy Named John aims to motivate and energize the audience every time.

So We Live | So We Die is the first full-length album from A Boy Named John following 2014's Or So It Seems EP. For more information, please visit: www.aboynamedjohn.com.
