November 10, 2008 -- These Green Eyes—Colin Cunningham (vocals), Greg Mauro (guitars), Jeff Krenn (guitars), Zach Braz (bass), Mark Brundrett (drums)--are set to release their sophomore album, RELAPSE TO RECOVERY, on March 24, 2009 on Blackledge Music (with distribution by Atlantic/ADA).

The album’s first single, “Paramedic,” will be serviced to radio early next year and a video is currently in the works. A video for “Sucker Punch (Won’t Get Away With It)” is already available for viewing on the band’s Myspace page, www.myspace.com/thesegreeneyes.

Tackling issues of friendship, loss, remorse, and ultimately hope, RELAPSE TO RECOVERY boils down five years of trials and tribulations as a unit, culminating with the tragic and unexpected loss of a close band friend to suicide.

In a review on Frantikmag.com, Gian Erguiza noted: “Mixing off beat rhythms, catchy hooks, group vocals and powerful vocals, These Green Eyes are sure to make heads turn with their full- length…”

In touring news, after having opened for Unwritten Law in Salt Lake City as part of the AST/Dew Fest in September, the band started to tour the States in early October to get the buzz going about the new album. During that trek, they performed shows with Hawthorne Heights and A Thorn For Every Heart. The remainder of November will have them performing shows with Pierce The Veil, A Change Of Pace and others. And next up for the band: seven shows as part of “The Atticus Tour” with A Change of Pace, The Classic Crime and Tyler Reade from November 29-December 6.

The seeds of These Green Eyes were planted in 2003, when drummer Mark Brundrett, guitarist Greg Mauro and bassist Zach Braz met in high school and, based on their shared love of music, decided to create some together. After months of experimenting with a revolving door of members, a basic lineup coalesced…with the exception of a vocalist. Enter Colin Cunningham, a friend’s brother with the heart of a poet and an impressive set of pipes. Accepting the invitation to play a single show (at which he made up lyrics on stage), he continued showing up for practice and the band stopped looking for a singer.

Once the group was solidified, the band wrote and recorded a four-song demo with producer John Naclerio (Brand New, My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail). With the demo in hand, the band was passed up by the local labels they approached. Undaunted, they went on tour, which eventually led to the introduction to JR from Less Than Jake, who felt the record deserved a wider audience. He helped the band get posted on the main page of PureVolume, where--just one year after forming--they were the second most listened to artist after Fall Out Boy.

Propelled by the exposure, more fans began showing up at shows in remote areas, fueling the band to write and record more material for a full-length album. After six months on the road, they returned to the studio with Naclerio to record seven additional tracks, completing what would become their 2005 debut, HOUSE OF GLASS (Martyr Records).

Throughout 2006, These Green Eyes became road warriors, sharing bills across the country with Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, The Academy Is…, The Higher, Less Than Jake, Hidden In Plain View, Silverstein and Gym Class Heroes.
