Vyces unveiled the video for its latest single ‘Nocturnal’ this week.

The song, which is taken from the band’s forthcoming EP Angels, features Carla Harvey, of Butcher Babies, making a guest appearance.  The video was directed by Ron Thunderwood at Tiger Lab Studios. Thunderwood called working on the video a memorable experience.

“I feel really lucky to have worked on this,” Thunderwood said of the shoot.  “It’s been the coolest challenge I’ve met as a director…mixing practical and CG effects, we really got to create another world.”

‘Nocturnal’ debuted online via Bravewords, a little more than two weeks after the band debuted the song alone online to all digital outlets.  The video is also streaming online via the band’s official YouTube channel.

In anticipation of Angels’ upcoming release and the debut of the EP’s lead single, the band has also announced new live dates with Shallow Side and Dead Horse Trauma.  The band’s dates with Shallow side begin June 27 in Fardo, ND and run through July 12.  The venue for that date is still being scheduled.

Romantic Rebel Added To Smile Empty Soul’s “Shapeshifter Tour 2016” LIneup

Romantic Rebel is headed back out on the road.

The band announced Monday that it will join Smile Empty Soul on the road this summer for the band’s “Shapeshifter Tour 2016.”  The tour launches this Friday, July 15^th in St. Louis, MO.  It will share time on stage as support for Smile Empty Soul alongside The Everyday Losers, Shallow Side, and Beitthemeans on the tour.  Romantic Rebel’s upcoming live dates are in support of its upcoming EP Begin Again.  The band announced Monday that fans who come out to its live shows will be able to pick up Begin Again before its official release date, which has not yet been announced.

Singer KT Paige recently sat down to discuss the EP and what it means not just to her but to the band in whole.  She noted in her discussion the work put into the songs not only by herself but also by guitarist Alex Vincent, who co-wrote the record, and by producer Johnny K (Disturbed, Pop Evil, Finger Eleven, Sevendust, 3 Doors Down, Megadeth, Machine Head, Nonpoint, etc.), who helmed the EP and is also working with the band on its upcoming as yet untitled sophomore album.  “This EP is very special to us,” she said.  “Alex and I wrote these songs from the heart; about past experiences and struggles.  That said, we were very attached to them and didn’t want to see them change.  Johnny, being the multi-talented producer that he is, helped us take the songs we thought couldn’t get any better to a whole new level.  It’s amazing how a simple change in melody can make me feel even more emotional about a song than I had felt previously.”

While waiting for Romantic Rebel’s new EP to be released audiences can purchase the EP’s lead single ‘Too Far’ now online via iTunes.  The single’s companion video is currently streaming on the band’s official YouTube channel now.  More information on Romantic Rebel’s latest tour schedule is available online now along with all of the band’s latest news at:
