Alternative rock mainstays The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are excited to announce the deluxe edition of their sixth album ‘X’s For Eyes’ due out March 6th via Better Noise Music. Also today (January 23rd), the band have shared ‘Angels Cry’, a new, unreleased track. Video was directed by Shane Drake at Say So Pictures with additional production by Michael Lombardi from Better Noise.
Singer and frontman Ronnie Winter describes ‘Angels Cry’ as “a bittersweet story of love and loss in early teenage years. As an adult, I’ve learned these things are natural, but when you are young it feels like the end of the world. Turns out it was just the beginning.”
‘Angels Cry’ follows the release of the single ‘Perfection’ from ‘X’s For Eyes’ and its video directed by Shane Drake (Panic! At The Disco, Paramore).
Originally released on October 3rd, 2025 via Better Noise Music, the 11 songs on ‘X’s For Eyes’ find the band revving up their caffeinated pop sensibilities, throwing down the punishing riffola, delivering more electronic and ambient flourishes, and topping all of it off with Winter’s high-pitched emoting. Factor in some hair-raising cameos from Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn (‘Always The King’) and Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt (‘Worth It’) and the result is genuinely RJA’s most strident full-length offering yet.
