The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus?

Question

are they new or old band?

Answer 1

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, an alternative rock/post-hardcore band with touches of screamo, pop-punk, and metal, was originally formed in 2003 in Middleburg, Florida. For about 18 months the band members wrote and rehearsed with no real intentions of performing or recording anything, however the attention they were gaining was undeniable. The band caught the ear of local recording studio, Vision Sounds, and quickly began recording their first EP, Kins and Carrol. Through diligent self-promotion and endless booking, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus developed a stronghold on the local music scene, selling out venues throughout the area. Upon enlisting the help of two fans turned friends, Kara Fine and Bernadette Rillorta, the band's website was properly developed and a strong local street team was established. The band made a connection with industry trade publication, Kings of A&R, and the band began buzzing through the music business as multiple labels considered taking on the young band. Although movement was slow within the industry, RJA went back into the studio to record their second Demo EP *** Shaker/Justify/Face Down. Some members of the original lineup were disheartened by the industry's teasing and subsequently, various band members either exited or were asked to leave the group.

The two remaining members, vocalist Ronnie Winter and guitarist Duke Kitchens were undeterred, and began rebuilding The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in Jacksonville Fl. They soon completed the current quintet with the additions of guitarist/vocalist Elias Reidy, bassist Joey Westwood, and drummer Jon Wilkes. Reidy and Westwood were childhood friends and had also previously played together in a metal band called In Fate's Hands. As the new lineup was being solidified, the band was contacted directly by Virgin President, Jason Flom, who quickly made the band an offer and they soon inked their deal with Virgin Records. They entered the studio with producer David Bendeth (of Hawthorne Heights, and Breaking Benjamin), and in 2005 The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus began creating their debut full-length. The resulting Don't You Fake It was released in August 2006, and most of that summer was spent on the road, including the Warped Tour. The band has also received publicity on MTV, including MTV's Discover and Download, and their song In Fate's Hands landed a spot on the coveted Madden 2007 Soundtrack. Face Down was also used as the theme for the finals in the 2006 WWE Diva Search.

Answer 2

The band started in 2003 and has had several member changes. The line-up that everyone knows now as The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Ronnie, Duke, Elias, Jon, and Joey) was put together in July 2005 and signed to Virgin records on Oct.27, 2005. They toured locally until being signed and have since toured around the USA and Canada. MTV has brought them into the limelight for the whole world to see this "new" band, but to us locals...they're"old".
