Ben Jorgensen announces Australian tour
Ben Jorgensen had it all. The band that he created and fronted, Armor For Sleep, was a staple in a scene that went from existing solely in the form of basement shows to selling out the worlds biggest arena's in a short matter of time.

"We've had enthusiastic, but vague inquiries from a few labels and we really appreciate that. But we're not looking for vague. We're not looking for nebulous “what do you guys want?” inquiries. We're looking for a strong, specific, enthusiastic offer that lays out in detail what your organization will do for us in exchange for releasing what will certainly be our wildest record yet. "Let's do this: pretend we're Brian Burke. Then pretend our next record is Tomas Kaberle. Now pretend you are a middling western co...
