CANDLELIGHT RED RELEASE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, "FEEL THE SAME," ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES WITH CANDLEBOX & SICK PUPPIES
 
Candlelight Red are rising fast within the ranks of bands that specialize in hard rock with killer hooks, as evidenced by their latest release, 'Reclamation,' and the new single/video, "Feel the Same." Directed by Wade Spencer and shot while the band was on tour earlier this summer, the clip continues the band's winning tradition of striking music videos, which showcases the excitement of their live show but shows Candlelight Red on the road behind the scenes.
 
 
You can view the video for "Feel the Same"
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YblYWCYZSAE
 
 
 
Hailing from Williamsport, PA, and comprised of Ryan Hoke - lead vocals, Jeremy
Edge - guitar/backing vocals, Jamie Morral- bass/backing vocals, and Tanner
Wayne - drums, Edge recently offered his thoughts on the "Feel the Same" video.
"Since this is a much mellower tune for us, we thought it would be cool to give
fans a glimpse of life on tour as well as the sacrifices we all make to be away
from family and friends to go out and do what we love most...travel over the
country playing music and trying to win over new fans!"
 
 
'Reclamation' was issued on June 4^th, and was produced by Sevendust's Morgan
Rose and recorded at Architekt Studios in Butler,NJ. Taking over drum duties is
Tanner Wayne, who replaced Brian Dugan (due to family obligations). Wayne
previously was a member of the bands Chiodos and Scary Kids Scaring Kids, and
has toured with LMFAO, Underoath, and Emmure.
 
 
The new look Candlelight Red line-up will continue touring throughout the summer
and fall, as dates with Candlebox (in August) and then Sick Puppies (in
