Army of Me is hitting the road to fans' delight

Washington D.C. buzz band ARMY OF ME now has the #3 most played video on MTV with “Going Through Changes’ off their latest release CITIZEN, available now on indie label Doghouse Records. ARMY OF ME comes in just behind chart juggernauts Rihanna and Nelly Furtado and inching out Fall Out Boy for the slot.
Having just finished a summer trek with Dave Matthews Band, ARMY OF ME now heads out on the road with The Used for a national tour. ARMY OF ME -- Vince Scheuerman (lead vocals, guitars), Brad Tursi (guitar, backing vocals), Dennis Manuel (drums) and Conrado Bokoles (bass) – is slated to be on the road with The Used well into 2008 and will be joined with Silverchair in the new year. ARMY OF ME has even managed to break through the seemingly impenetrable wall of radio with two songs, “Going Through Changes” and “2 Into One,” off CITIZEN currently spinning on tastemaker radio stations nationwide, including Los Angeles’ KROQ, KITS in San Francisco and WWDC in their home town of Washington DC among others. On the surface, the music of ARMY OF ME could fit snugly into the playlist of any mainstream radio station. The epic guitars and soaring vocals are more reminiscent of REM and Oasis than of quirkily trendy indie pop. Below the surface, however, ARMY OF ME carries the self-starter scars of one of the hardest working bands in showbiz. Currently featured on MTV’s “Discover & Download,” the channel’s emerging artist program, ARMY OF ME were also this summer’s winner of the Yahoo! Music’s “Who’s Next User’s Choice” competition, beating out Tiger Army, Tokyo Police Club, and A Fine Frenzy for the honor.

“’Going Through Changes,’ could easily become the misunderstood puberty song of 2007.” - spin.com“Army of Me deliver explosive rhythms fused with soft pop and catchy melodies..." -TruePunk.com
