Armor For Sleep – What To Do When You Are Dead 20th Anniversary UK Tour
For the first time in over a decade, New Jersey's emo trailblazers Armor For Sleep return to the UK to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their seminal album, What To Do When You Are Dead. Experience the album performed in its entirety!
Joining them are two very special guests, Hellogoodbye and Vinnie Caruana, the voice behind The Movielife and I Am The Avalanche.
Armor For Sleep’s emotionally charged lyrics, energetic live shows, and D.I.Y. work ethic have won the New Jersey-based quartet a loyal fan base. After distributing demos, Albany, New York-based indie label Equal Vision Records signed the band and released their first two concept albums: Dream to Make Believe, released in 2003, and What to Do When You Are Dead, released in 2005. The latter spawned the popular singles "Car Underwater" and "The Truth About Heaven," receiving heavy airplay. In 2009, after years of touring supporting their third album, Smile For Them, the group announced an indefinite hiatus and pursued other creative projects. In 2020, Armor For Sleep’s Ben Jorgensen revisited a lost idea for a conceptual album nearly 17 years in the making, leading to the release of their fourth full length album in 2022, The Rain Museum. The band has signed back with Equal Vision Records and is celebrating 20 years of Dream To Make Believe through an unmissable album tour this fall.
