Don’t You Fake It by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Don’t You Fake It is an album by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, released in 2006. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 34 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Face Down”, on 32 lists with a best position of #8.
Don't You Fake It, the major-label debut from Middleburg, Florida's Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, came out on Virgin in July 2006 with David Bendeth producing. Ronnie Winter fronts the band, with Duke Kitchens and Elias Reidy on guitars, Joey Westwood on bass and Jon Wilkes on drums, and the album takes its title from the opening track, "In Fate's Hands".
This is pop-punk built for the cheap seats: chugging, glossy guitars, choruses that go straight for the throat and Winter's voice leaping from confessional murmur to full-bore shout. Critics were split, but "Face Down" became the band's biggest hit, "False Pretense" and "Your Guardian Angel" kept the momentum going, and the band took it on the road across North America, festival stages included. It remains their only RIAA-certified album, and it went platinum.
