EGYPT CENTRAL
CONTINUE THEIR RISE UP THE ACTIVE ROCK CHARTS
WITH TITLE TRACK FROM ’WHITE RABBIT,’ DUE OUT MAY 17;
“ROCKLINE”
FEATURED APPEARANCE
CONFIRMED FOR MONDAY, MAY 16
April 18, 2011 -- EGYPT
CENTRAL--John Falls (vocals), Joey Chicago (bass), Blake Allison
(drums), Jeff James (guitar)—is currently criss-crossing the
U.S. with Cold and Kopek in support of their forthcoming sophomore
album, WHITE RABBIT, which is due out May 17 on Fat Lady
Music/ILG/Warner Music Group.
The first single and
title track was released to Active Rock radio and iTunes on February
15. It’s currently sitting at #24 on Billboard’s
“Active Rock” chart and #25 on the Mediabase Active
Rock chart. A video for “White Rabbit” was recently
shot in Nashville with director Mason Dixon (Framing Hanley, Tantric).
An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video can
be seen on Noisecreep.com here:

As bassist Joey Chicago
explained to Noisecreep.com: "’White Rabbit,'
as a song, is about the act of being within the struggle, the lesson
that is trusting someone or something that is not what it seems.
We wanted to write a song that people could relate to because we
were being honest and showing our vulnerability. The song bridges
the gap between the self-titled first record and the new album.
The metaphor dives deeper in the video as we are introduced the
characters directly correlating with the record. It's the beginning
of the tale of four men determined to get their lives back from
the people or things that have influenced and damaged them in such
a negative way. It is the first of a series of videos showing the
war between purity and deception, determination and distraction,
EGYPT CENTRAL and the White Rabbit."
Fans anxious to hear
snippets of every song on WHITE RABBIT should head to the

WHITE RABBIT is
the follow up to 2008’s self-titled debut album, which debuted
at #8 on the Billboard “Heatseekers” chart and included
the singles “You Make Me Sick” and “Over And Under,”
both achieving Top 40 status on the Active Rock chart. WHITE
RABBIT was produced by Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, 12 Stones,
etc.) and features twelve songs of heavy riffs, lyrics from the
soul and strong melodic hooks. Threaded throughout this collection
of songs is a story of consequences that occur when one accepts
or declines the invitation from the “White Rabbit.”
“We knew we had
solid songs, but when the opportunity came to work with Skidd, we
found the person that could not only make a great sounding record,
but also bring the best out of us,” states lead singer John
Falls. “We had a lot of growing to do as men and the time
was right to give our fans what they deserved and what we knew we
were capable of…Kick Ass Rock!” Adds Joey Chicago, “Collectively,
this is the best group of songs we have ever written.”
