Nashville, Tenn. (April 8, 2014) – NEEDTOBREATHE is gearing up for the release of their new album Rivers In the Wasteland, out next Tuesday, April 15 on Atlantic/Word Records. In support, the critically acclaimed band will bring their captivating live show to The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 18 and will return to the Late Show with David Letterman on April 23 to perform new single “The Heart.” Check out the record’s official video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Yo99VjE2o
Early praise for Rivers In the Wasteland includes the UK’s The Clash who applauds the albums “strident, anthemic songwriting,” while MTV praises the bands “thunderous folk-rock." Jesus Freak Hideout said "the collection of songs is joyful and soaked in a longing for home…it's a welcome return for the South Carolina boys, and one of the best releases of 2014 so far.”
“Difference Maker” continues to climb the charts, reaching No. 11 on the Hot AC/CHR chart this week. Last week, RELEVANT exclusively premiered the cinematic music video for “Difference Maker.” The video, which was shot on the outskirts of Los Angeles, CA and was directed by Gus Black, can be viewed here: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/rtv/music-videos/difference-maker. NEEDTOBREATHE’s next single “Multiplied” will go for adds at Christian radio starting April 18.
