Egypt Central charting and on tour

The self-titled debut from alternative rockers EGYPT CENTRAL hit streets on January 15 and debuted at #8 on Billboard’s New Artist chart. The album moved over 2,000 units in its first week, and is currently over 6,600 in total sales!

EGYPT CENTRAL is getting excellent radio play across the country, riding the popularity of the lead single, “You Make Me Sick.” The band is currently #29 on the BDS Active Rock chart, getting airplay in over 50 major US cities! Stations include recently added WBUZ/Nashville and KNCN/Corpus Christi, as well as WIYY/Baltimore, WIIL/Chicago, WRIF/Detroit, KZRQ/Springfield, KUPD/Phoenix, KOMP/Las Vegas, KISW/Seattle, Sirius Satellite Radio, and XM!

EGYPT CENTRAL is a feel-good story defined by determination. Originally signed to a major label, the band was dropped and left for dead. Rather than throw in the towel, EGYPT CENTRAL continued on and found success with the track “Over And Under,” which was featured in the 2007 major motion picture, The Condemned. EGYPT CENTRAL has now come back from the brink with the release of their self-titled debut.

The band is currently on tour to support the release of their debut album. Do not miss their exciting and engaging live performance, and be sure to pick up the self-titled debut from EGYPT CENTRAL, in stores now!
