Five Finger Death Punch to appear on Rockline and on the road

I love FFDP!! Add them to your must-hear list ~ M

The Los Angeles-based Five Finger Death Punch will be the featured guests on the nationally syndicated radio show ROCKLINE on Monday night June 23 at 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET. Fans are encouraged to call in to speak with the band at 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). For a station near you and for information regarding how to log onto the Internet for the broadcast go to www.RocklineRadio.com.

The band is currently #15 on the Active Rock radio charts with their latest single, “Never Enough.” FFDP’s previous single, “The Bleeding,” stayed in the Active Rock Top 10 for six weeks. “Never Enough” is getting great airplay all over the country, including WIIL/Chicago, KEGL/Dallas, WRIF/Detroit, KISW/Seattle, KUPD/Phoenix, KXXR/Minneapolis, KBPI/Denver, KOMP/Las Vegas, WJRR/Orlando, WRZX/Indianapolis, and WBUZ/Nashville, Music Choice, and more!!! Recently added stations include WHRL/Albany, KIOZ/San Diego, and WTPT/Greenville.

Five Finger Death Punch will be heading out this summer on the inaugural Rockstar MAYHEM Festival Tour. The band has secured a spot on the Jagermeister Second Stage, alongside Machine Head and Airbourne. The tour, which features headliners Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, and Dragonforce, will be kicking off July 9 in Seattle, WA.

FFDP is touring to support The Way of the Fist, which has sold over 137,000 copies since its August 2007 release. The album debuted at #165 on the Billboard Top 200 and was #5 on the Top New Artist Chart. The video for “The Bleeding” has over 1 million plays on YouTube.

Five Finger Death Punch was an underground phenomenon even before it exploded onto the Family Values Tour in 2007. Their “old-school-meets-new-school” metal was the talk of the scene, creating quite a ripple in the underground. Upholding the traditional songwriting values with the support of today’s modern sound and dynamics has paid off for FFDP. On the Rockstar MAYHEM fest this summer, audiences will see why Metal Edge calls Five Finger Death Punch “the sound of violent exhilaration, giving contemporary metal a belligerent shove in an exciting direction.”
